"Naturally Fresh" salad dressings w/ AA meals...not so natural.

In the grand scheme of AA problems, some may find this to be totally insignificant, and others will agree it's rather troubling.

As one who attempts to be mindful of my health, I side with the latter.

I was just served my pear/chicken salad on ORD-DFW. I read the ingredients on the "Naturally Fresh" dressing packet (olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette), and boom there it was...partially hydrogenated soybean oil and partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.

If you're not already aware of the dangers of these so-called "oils," here's a link that explains why you shouldn't be consuming them.

I encourage eating foods of all kinds, but if I can look on an ingredients list and see something that's essentially a poison, I don't touch it.

I'd like to encourage/hope that AA sees this and does something about it. There's a reason NYC banned trans-fats, and the FDA is moving in the same direction.
