Today we reminisce with this collection of foods that look quite yummy, indeed, but they just won’t be the same without trans fats…

You’ve met this chick before – she claims that she’s “soooo fat!” yet she can pinch all of the fat in her entire body between two fingers! Let’s switch out her toothpaste with some trans fats for a few months and teach her what being fat really looks like…
Nothing says summer like a nice slice of watermelon, but without those juicy trans fats that watermelon is known for, what’s the point?!
