The anti-trans-fat bandwagon has been rolling across Canada since the fall of 2003, when Ontario cookie-maker Voortman Cookies announced it would rid its products of the unhealthy compound. The company's owner says his daughter - a naturopath - played a big role in convincing him to make a healthier cookie. Since then, more companies have moved to eliminate trans fats from their products. But the Trans Fat Task Force says more needs to be done.
