A letter of affection and concern to my adopted homeland, the Netherlands.
I have recently noticed that some items, such as chocolates and ready-to-heat quiches sold under the Albert Heijn label, both regular and "Excellent" contain transfats.
Transfat (trans vet) can contribute to heart disease and there is just no reason any human being should consume it--you might as well start lining your arteries with rotten frites oil. Frying with transfats has been legally banned in the cities of New York and Boston and the state of California. Australia, Canada, Switzerland and Denmark have taken action to reduce production and usage of transfats.
As Albert Heijn is the only game in town for a standard grocery store, they suffer no competition save for consumer demand. Demand that Albert Heijn stop adding transfats to their products by refusing to buy anything that contains it.
