Doughnuts Be Gone! - What specific foods should you limit or avoid and why?

Trans fat is usually found in packaged food, fast food, and frozen food.

Vegetarians choose to avoid meat because of many reasons, including simply not liking the taste of meat or feeling as though it's wrong to eat animals.
