For many years, the food industry had been putting trans fat in our food, and we didn't care. Now as the years go on and in the last 10 to 20 years ago people started to eat healthily. **Long ago people ate transfat without knowing there badness** A few decades ago a lot of human food had trans fats in them. Humans thought nothing of it. They didn't know how bad trans fats are and how it can cause a person to get heart disease. There are certain foods you would find trans fats the most are fried goods, baked goods, and microwave popcorn. Some of the foods of the past that most brands had used it because it makes them last longer before they spoil, and they taste better and for longer. **We learn in the 21st century trans fats are bad for us** Also, because people are watching their health more in the mid teens of the twenty-first-century scientists have told us that there is no reason for our health that is good for us to eat trans fats. If we ate enough of it then the person would get the number one reason of death in the United States that is heart disease. The person eating a lot of trans fats then they will raise people's Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL) also more well known as the "bad cholesterol. And it lowers the HDL or High-Density Lipoprotein also known as the "good cholesterol". https://bakerpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/baking-ingredients-potato-chips-square.jpg [source](https://bakerpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/baking-ingredients-potato-chips-square.jpg) **FDA decides food labels on trans fat and what it does to our health** The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that unless one is dedicated to eating right the food the food companies would have to cater for those people. The FDA said the food has to have to add on the package label that they used trans fat. That could mean that those healthy food eating people won't buy that food item. If one is he, average American still eats one gram of trans fats a day. If we stopped eating that, then there would be 20,000 fewer heart attacks a year, and 7,000 thousand fewer people would die each year. The FDA decided that they are thinking and will have an answer soon when they trans fats are going to start getting rid of trans fat that they will do by classifying it different. Right now the FDA has GRAS food or "Generally recognized as safe" and food manufacturers are allowed to use as much of those things added to foods. It decided that the trans fat will be made that the food maker will have to get permission from adding it to the food they have to have a very good reason they need it. There are some foods like milk and some meats that have low natural dose of trans fats that would be too hard to take the trans fat out.. **The grocery industry on their own lowers trans fat since 2002 and foods that used to always contrain trans fats** As far back as 2003 the most popular trade group of the food industry, The Grocery Manufacturers Association made the proud announcement that trans fat in food has been lowered by eighty-six percent by food companies. They also did it on their own before the FDA got involved. They used to put trans fats in a lot of foods, and they didn't have to label them that it contained them, and even if it did, it might not have mattered. It might not have mattered because the people might not have known what these trans fats were. If they were aware, they might not have known how bad they were many decades ago. Or they didn't care because long ago not everybody wasn't so much into eating healthy. Some foods that have the trans fat in them most of the time, Today they are trying to lower the amount of grams of it in the following foods. You can buy made at any supermarket. These foods are biscuits, coffee creamers, refrigerated dough, vegetable shortening, stick margarine, microwave popcorn, frozen pizza, pie crusts. https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-smart/fats/trans-fat https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/why-trans-fats-are-bad https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/trans-fat/art-20046114
