The FDA has just made a ruling that Trans Fats need to be eliminated from packaged foods. Trans fats have been used by food processors for bakery and dessert products as well as fried foods because of their taste and cooking properties. Eliminating Trans Fats is posing a significant problem for food processors. To comply with the new regulation, industry is opting to use tropical oils such as Palm Oils. Please comment on the economic, social, and environmental impact of the increased use of tropical oils.
