Here's a funny story by a food critic who wrote an article about Kraft food engineers slaving away for years to remove the trans-fats from Oreos, only to have Europeans wonder what the big deal was. Turns out European Oreos are trans-fats free and they got that way with no muss or fuss. Well, apparently, Europeans like cookies that taste like food and Americans like cookies that taste like candle wax. Kraft invested all that time and energy attempting to replicate the waxy texture of Oreo filling.
Too bad. In an attempt to eat healthier, I've begun to buy my junk food at the health food store. They have a couple of brands of trans-fat-free Oreo-type cookies that are sooo yummy, I can't imagine eating Oreos again.
