Sobering

Which is deadlier, french fries or car accidents?

We're far more likely to die from over consumption of trans fat.

In the United States, people have a one-in-84 chance of dying in a car accident, and one-in-five chance of dying from heart disease. That's greater than the risk of dying from cancer , which is one-in-seven [source: NYT].

Yeah, but eating junk is so much nicer than smashing the car.
