I didn't read the article, but I don't see why trans fats are so hard
to replace.  In Canada, there has been talk of a ban on trans fats.
Because of this, many food companies began labeling the amounts of
trans fats, and using alternatives.  They've been using '0 Trans Fats'
as a selling point.

I've recently been able to eat Honey Nut Cheerios again so I'm pretty
happy about that.
