Question

Are fatty acids a type of trans fat?

My new year's resolution was to start eating healthier, but I am confused about which fats are good and which fats are bad ("bad" meaning fat that causes jiggling - like trans fat).  Are fatty acids good for you, or are fatty acids a type of bad trans fat?
