My trader joes 20/80 ground beef has 1.5 grams of transfat, out of 22 grams of total fat. WTF, I thought transfats only existed in processed foods with vegetable oil.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
all ruminants' meat & milk contains traces of vaccenic acid, which is a naturally occuring fat and an isomer of oleic acid (the predominant fatty acid in olive oil).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccenic_acid
it is converted by humans into CLA, which is a good thing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_linoleic_acid
incidentally, the saturated isomer of oleic acid is stearic acid, another 'good fat'...
The 'bad fats' are other fats with trans bonds rather than cis bonds that do not occur anywhere in nature. Humans have been consuming the milk & more importantly, meat, of ruminants since the very first deer or woolly mammoth hunter. The trans fats of concern, resulting from the partial hydrogenation of soybean and other oils, were never consumed by humans in any quantity until the commercialization of Crisco one hundred years ago.
the jury is still out as to whether or not the stearic acid that results from full hydrogenation is as good for you as natural stearic acid or as bad for you as other artificial trans fats.

I thought cows produce CLA/VA only when they are fed grass.

Corn??? But, but, but, we're trying to fatten the cows, not make them lose weight. Why not just feed them saturated fats??? /sarcasmThrottle said:
