My friends, today is a great day. On a whim, as I occasionally do, I picked up a box of Honey Bunches of Oats. If you are a longtime Songoose reader, you may remember my Open Letter to Post Cereals, in which I informed the company that although HBoO is the single greatest cereal ever created, that I would “not buy another box of Honey Bunches of Oats until [they] stop using Partially Hydrogenated Oils. Period.”
(It should be noted that HBoO had less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, which allowed them to claim 0 grams trans fat on the ingredients list, but that doesn’t make the use of hydrogenated oil right.)
Anyhoo, Post has finally relplaced the hydrogenated oil with plain old vegetable oil — trans fat free. I can now enjoy the best cereal ever made again — my mouth is salivating for tomorrow morning already!
Interestingly, I never received a response from Post (which I always found strange). But perhaps my voice among the many contributed to this great change. Thanks Post.

Are you sure about this? This is also my favorite cereal of all time and I, too, stopped eating it once I discovered the evil trans fat. The last time I checked (today), their website still says that it contains partially hydrogenated oil. So either they didn’t update their website yet, or this change was only temporary and it was just absolute torture to them that we just want to enjoy their cereal without raising our cholesterol. Are you really sure that they stopped using it?
