Some 85% of the roughly 19 billion lbs. of edible oils Americans consume each year comes from soy. About 10 billion lbs. of that soy oil gets hydrogenated, according to Mark Matlock, senior vice president of food research at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). But alternatives are on the horizon. ADM, for example, has developed oils that not only behave like hydrogenated oils but also, Matlock says, are relatively healthy...

...designed than most of its competition, and it has also been the subject of an incredibly successful marketing blitz that has transformed it from mere music player into status symbol. Further, there are some real benefits to owning the same gadgets as all your friends—accessories are cheap, tech support is easy to come by, and the bragging rights are indisputable.But there are costs, too. Sony, for example isn’t happy about all of this – their substitute product hasn’t fared nearly as well as the iPod, and while this could...
