Subject: "Reduced Trans-fat"

As a graduate student in Health Education, I completely agree with the necessity of listing trans-fats on labels-not just as hydrogenated or "partially-hydrogenated" oils, but with statements regarding the hazards and health risks of these products to further educate consumers. In addition, I would submit a request mandating that all labels not be hidden under wrapping folds (as in candy bars, individually-wrapped cookies and snacks) and that labeling font sizes be increased so that consumers could read this important information without a magnifying glass...
