I've written a new article, Fat and explained how I see trans fats there. I don't think it's primarily an issue of consumers personally freely choosing to eat unhealthy trans fats. I think food manufacturers and caterers are putting trans fats into products and consumers either don't know the trans fat is there or have a choice between eating the unhealthy fat or doing without the product. Since trans fats don't improve the flavor of the product I think consumers would prefer not to have trans fats forced onto them. If trans fats are banned suppliers will look for alternatives, then consumers will freely enjoy their products without the health risk.
