...have heard about trans fats--mainly because of Joseph's Oreo lawsuit--only about 14% are likely to actively avoid them. Charlie Lousignont, an executive at Fazoli's restaurant chain, based in Lexington, Ky., which cut trans fats from most of its menu last April, points out that consumers tend to make choices based on taste, not virtue. "The ultimate food product," he says, "is low in calories, carbohydrates and sodium and has no trans fats. That leaves you with only a handful of things--like a carrot."

For this reason, the marshals said they are focused on what Chadbourne calls “events that can help reunite and build a more cohesive...
...wouldn't let the other one, you know, fall or look silly. We're protective of each other." It takes some work to get the terminally modest Broderick to cop to his contribution. "There's some truth in that," he shrugs. "If he gets upset at rehearsal, I tend to sort of try to be the reasonable one. But I can be the one who goes crazy and loses his temper too," he adds hastily...
