People don't choose to eat trans fats, they choose to eat a specific brand of cookies, pizza, whatever that contains trans fats. If trans fats are made illegal manufacturers and caterers will look for alternatives, after that consumers will get their brand of cookies, pizza, whatever with healthier fats.

Consumers aren't entirely at fault if they don't read the list of ingredients. Manufacturers make sure that list is in small print, difficult and unattractive to read. Further you need a degree in food science before you can understand the information on the label. Is it surprising that many/most consumers don't read that unattractive list of ingredients that they can at best only partly understand.
