Figured we'd show off our Trademark SupahFan Apparel Dunkie Junkie Brand t-shirts and hoodies. Again, there is no relation to Dunkin' Donuts but we New Englanders are addicted to coffee and proud to know that one of our local companies plans to expand rapidly this decade. Check out our shirts in our webstore. BTW, I took an MBA Franchising class from Bill Rosenberg and he stood firmly behind his assessment that dollars will always follow tastebuds in the restaurant industry.

Let's discuss two things here. First, the concept of personal responsibility. If you don't want to eat donuts or anything else that contains trans fats, by all means don't. You can live to a ripe old age and spend the rest of us that chose not to follow your clearly superior path. No one should be shocked at the concept of donuts not being health food and even if they did change to a healthier oil they would still be bad for you. If you are concerned about your health, so to Subway, Jared! Secondly, the idea for the ban ridiculous big brother governmental medling and nothing more. If they can control what I eat, and what I smoke and where I can smoke, and what I can say and who can live here and who can't then they can control all of us like their own little Lego Village. The ban on smoking flew because if I smoke next to you, you breathe it in and hence you get the effects as well as I. If I sit next to you, shoveling donuts and french fries and fried cheese and washing it down with a partially hydrongenated oil chaser, it affects you not at all (except for possibly making you a little queasy from watching). The same bill is being tried in Chicago, targeting only companies that make more than a certain amount per year (i.e. fast food chains). The idea is that since a company makes a certain amount of money, they must then be that much more socially responsible. But the diner on the corner that cooks their hashbrowns in bacon fat, he will be okay. Whatever. At the end of the day, it comes down to one thing. I want to be the only one who decides what I put in my mouth. Bring back the administration that like a little tail and porkrinds, thank you very much. Please! Let’s discuss two things here.

Donuts don't need trans fats at all. I've had plenty of non trans fats donuts at stores all over NYC that tasted 10 times better than DD does, and they weren't any more expensive. DD could not use trans fats, but then maybe they wouldnt make as many millions as they do now... maybe 1 or 2 mil less. Maybe they'll realize that the $ they lose on using more digestible fats wll be made up by consumers who live longer... I agree with Mark. Donuts don’t need trans fats at all.

The main reason hydrogenated oils are used boils down to one thing: price. Hydrogenated oils are cheaper and allow for greater profits. We CAN have good tasting food--it just might not be as profitable for the multinational conglomerates. I’m pretty sure that donuts can be made just as well with other types of shortening.
