All About Fat: One author is excited about the recommendation to get rid of transfats, because it opens the door for lard to be re-embraced. The NYT also has an article on what food scientists are doing about the fat worries: "Just another day in the strange world of food scientists. Mr. Kelleher, the founder of Proteus Industries in Gloucester, Mass., is one of many chemists who work, often in secret, in a little-understood part of the $550 billion processed-food industry. These are the people who ultimately put food together, and their mission is critical: developing foods that let consumers have their cake and eat it, too." More people want chickens not for their fat, but for pets.
