I've been sitting in my cube, happily snarfing through a bag of Peek Freans Ginger Snap Crisp cookies (along with some tea), when I caught sight of this little item listed on the cookie bag's "Nutrition Facts" label:
Per 30g (Approx. 3 cookies) Fat 4.5 g Saturated 1.5 g + Trans 1.0 g
Aaaaaggh! But they're so tasty!
Unfortunately, the pleasure centres of our brains light up when we put fat in our mouths. Evolution must be to blame. Somehow.

Was there more? Because 1.5 + 1.0 is not 4.5
(maybe it's only 2.5?)

I'm guessing that the other 2.0 grams is unsaturated fat.
(Yes, the labelling sucks.)
