There is no level of safe trans-fat consumption; at any level they are bad for you. Trans-fats are artificial and a relatively new innovation and are easily replaced by other kinds of saturated and non-saturated fats; they can and should be completely removed from the food chain. The loss of liberty (the opportunity to consume a heart-attack inducing fat easily replaced by other fats) is relatively small compared to the risk to health.
