Avoid transfat - move to Denmark

[danmand]

Denmark has limited transfat in food to 2%. Dr. Steen Stender says in the article, that 50,000 deaths every year in the EU could be avoided if the danish limit on transfat was adopted by the EU.

He states that transfat is suitable for shoe polish and wagon grease but not for human consumption.

So, does that mean if I eat lots of Danishes I'll be OK?

If you eat them in Denmark, yes.

By the way, the danes refuse to take responsibility for "danishes". In Denmark this kind of pastry is called Viennese bread.

It looks to me like Denmark is discriminating against trannys.

Can't I just have less French Fries (Danish Fries?) and stay here?
