Ahem. Trans fats were not "a thing" for 88 years. More, there was literally no way to distinguish between artificial trans fats and naturally occurring trans fats for 88 years. This exceptionally clear divide between people is just one more reason why labels are needed.

Anyone who thinks 15 years is enough to prove harmfulness to the human organs, has not heard about trans fats.
Artificial trans fats were introduced in 1902. It wasn't until 1990s that research started to emerge, showing they caused long-term heart disease. In 2007 the government finally agreed that "there is likely no safe level of trans fat and that people should eat as little as possible". The government has, to date, not been successful at completely eliminating trans fats from food supply due to fractional rounding and misleading "trans fat free" labeling. This is 110+ years later!

"10% error on your PSE&G bill"

I was just visited by a guy calling himself Lyndon Walker from Hiko Energy. He said PSE&G has made a billing error and has been billing me a supply import charge of 10% for the BGS/BGSS suppliers which comes all the way from Texas (or something to that effect) and he's here to correct the error by switching me to Hiko Energy which is a local NJ company and does not have the 10% charge.
He claimed the discount will take effect by 60 days, and I will get an official confirmation within 4-5 days, if I could just complete a TPV call with him right there on the spot. He then proceeded to spent 10 minutes explaining to me what I'm going to be asked during the call and exactly how I should answer. At this point things started to feel very suspicious, so I told him to come back on Monday. He claimed to have already done this for my neighbors and showed me a filled out form from some guy Luke (don't know a neighbor with that name.) Has anyone else been greeted with a similar story? The guy was able to write down my PSE&G account numbers and name/phone number before he left, should I be worried?
