Did you know Vanilla Wafers have trans fat in them? They do! Blew my mind. 2.5 grams for 8 of those little guys. I'm not a big health nut, but I usually check the nutrition facts just to see what I'm eating. I always thought Vanilla Wafers were pretty healthy, but guess not!
Ever since this whole "trans fat awareness" craze has started, I've noticed how few foods really have this good-for-nothing substance in them (or at least enough to legally report). The only other thing I knew of is store-bought icing. Until now. Hmpf!
Well, anyway, thanks for humoring me by reading. Cheers!

You know, T, I bet those vanilla wafers have another little heath problem called High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). This is another food shortcut that industries like to use to cut cost and lenthen the shelf life of food. I am glad my friends are health conscious, plus this way I don't feel like the only dweeb who checks the nutritional facts of virtually everything I eat.
Healthy eating,

Off the topic...I noticed that you updated your profile.
Is "instils" spelled with one l?
looks weird...maybe it's some new way to do poetry.
BUT UNHEALTHY THINGS TASTE SO GOOOOOOOOOD! :-(
Mmmm, I know, I've always liked vanilla wafers. And store bought chocolate icing...*sigh*
Observant eye, mel!! Instils, I believe is the Old English way to spell instills. Holly, want to check the OED on that for us? :-)
My "Nilla" wafers box reveals NO trans fat. Happy day!
MOM
Huh! Maybe we bought that box before trans fat was invented (?)
Check your brand. Look for "Nilla" brand. Now, study your Greek.
MOM
