now, none of this is a done deal yet. there s a 60-day public comment period. the fda s going to consider concerns, suggestions that anybody including the manufacturers might have. but, again, this is a pretty big deal. i want to talk more about this with cnn managing editor cat kinsman, welcome back to the program. thanks, sanjay. what are we talking about with trans fats? which foods are the worst offenders here? well, a lot of them are sort of your treat foods, microwave popcorn, frozen pizzas, frosting in a can, coffee creamers, they re little things that probably don t make up the bulk of your diet but they might make up the treat portion of your deet diet except for margarine which is a fairly significant part of often a household s cooking. how do you see our landscape of food sort of changing, then, when these type of foods go away? do they go away? well, you know, there s still going to be a certain amount of allowable trans fats and there are also naturally occurrin
