Starbucks & Artificial Transfat

By now, you've heard about the new Starbucks menu. I went into my local Starbucks this morning, and saw the promo on the pastry case. One of the lines said,

"No artificial transfats."

No artificial transfats? Really. This struck me a little odd. So I asked the manager who is a friend of min. "No artificial trans fats?"

"Yes," he replied.

I asked a follow-up question. "Does that mean there are natural transfats in the food?"

He laughed. "I wonder if that slipped through."

I don't know if it slipped through or not. But I do wonder what is the difference between artificial and natural transfats. If you know, please drop me a line.
