Informing customers about trans fats on food labels could prevent 7,600 to 17,100 cases of coronary heart disease and 2,500 to 5,600 deaths per year, the FDA has estimated.

No it probably couldn't. People who eat Oreos (and similarly death-ladened products) don't read labels, and they are very likely to continue eating their popcorn, potato chips, crackers, and cookies even if they are informed. Why? Because those foods taste good and death is so very, very far away.
But why would practicality ever concern a moral crusader with a lawsuit to file?

Until a judge disbars and fines an attorney for this type of lawsuit, the idiocy will continue. The venue to argue this is not the courts! If trans-fatty acids are deemed too dangerous for public consumption, it is the legislature's responsibility to ban them or require labels, not the judiciary.

Do you think his first exhibit will be a close-up photo of the dastardly Double Stuf Oreo?

I eat Oreos. I read labels. I'm just hard-headed that way. 
Where can I file a lawsuit against people who wish to blame others for their lack of self-discipline?

How can you possible attack Oreos without first examining Twinkies? Or candy corn? Maybe candy corn gets a waiver since it was all made back in the early 1900's and we're still munching off of the original stockpile (kinda like how you can't require seatbelts in vintage cars).
I'm with Todd. Let's file a class-action.
