I am glad to hear it but I will miss the happy meal toys if they are no longer partnered with McD. I have read a lot of complaints recently about the new kids menus, but I wish I had never allowed my kids to eat fast food. Now that they are teenagers, it is much harder to change their eating habits.

What about the Mickey Bars? Churros? Those new Minnie Mouse cookies that are like $2.50 each and are HEAVENLY???!!!

I, for one, would like to see a more slender version of the Mickey Bar. I think it has something like 23 grams of fat per serving. YIKES!

To my knowledge - you can still make all those things without trans fats. Just because they take the trans fats out, however, doesn't mean it'll be less fattening. Trans fats are the only fats that are proven to cause heart disease - so yes this is a good thing IMO. I don't know how they'll cook the deep fried things though - french fries, chicken nuggets, etc. Because the oil is cooked at such high temperatures, it is oxidized which results in the formation of trans fats. The only oil that is not damaged at high temperatures is coconut oil. So maybe they'll use coconut oil...

Uh peanut oil is not damaged at high temperatures. Its what everyone uses to deep fry their Turkeys at Thanksgiving.
