McDonald's, it's about time!

McDonalds finally got on the bandwagon and is replacing their unhealthy oils with trans-fat-free cooking oil. 

" A Harvard study also found that eating just 5 grams of trans fat a day could increase the risk of heart disease by 25 percent. Researchers concluded that eliminating trans fat from the American diet could prevent between 6 and 19 percent of heart attacks and related deaths each year."

"The new McDonald's oil will consist of a mixture of canola, corn and soy. The new oil has already rolled out in 1,200 of the chain's 13,700 U.S. restaurants, he said. More will receive the new supplies as they become available."

Does that mean that McDonald's food is no longer taboo?

It would take more than that to coax me into a MacDonalds!
