"trans fats" are usually a vegetable oil "partially hydrogenated".

Luc_H could probably write a book on this.

I am all for the "trans-fat" ban even if it is just symbolic. There is no need for Crisco when we have other better options, tastier and healthier. Yes I worked as a line cook and fry cook, and deep fry oil that is durable saves $. Let the nameless fast food joints do that, not a good restaurant.
