For me, this gets easier as more research appears on the horrors of processed, junk foods, which makes me want to avoid them. The latest big story here in the UK is that doctors are demanding a ban on trans fats, the hydrogenated fats and oils which are everywhere in cakes, pastries, fries and fast foods, and are far more damaging to the heart than saturated fats. If governments won't step in and ban these harmful substances, we owe it to ourselves to get educated and wean ourselves off them - and it's even more important for those of us who are responsible for feeding our families.
