It was originally invented in order to create a market for trans fats (Crisco, margarine, etc). First of all, fatty plants are some of the most nutritious available. Nuts, seeds, avocado, coconut, these are all great plants to eat. I have worked with some vegetarians/vegans who eat very little of these foods, and I believe that is a big mistake where their health is concerned.Just think, our govt has been fattening up the population as a way to save the "useful" folks to rebuild the future.
