"Soon it will be a lot easier to tell just how bad a bag of potato chips or a box of cookies really is for your health. The federal government will start requiring food manufacturers to disclose the amount of trans fat in their products, the first big change since the current food labeling system began in 1993 and a milestone in public health efforts to reduce a variety of diseases."
