Trans Fat in NYC: Update!
It’s happened. New York City has banned trans fat in restaurants. Corn cobs everywhere are furious, but we think it’s pretty cool. Of course, it would be better if restaurants did this of their own accord; legal intervention is never as inspiring. But we’ll take it!

While it’s reassuring to know I wouldn’t get any trans fats if I ate in a restaurant in NYC, what will happen if they decide they need to ban all fats and cholesterol (or put a limit), too, and I can’t go into a restaurant and get a nice low carb meal of steak, hamburger or eggs. And then what if they decide to do the same for grocery stores? Fats are such an important part that I worry that the trans fat ban is just the beginning.
