NYC: No trans fats in restaurants as of July 1

Unhealthy trans fats in restaurant food? Not in New York City.
Eateries must remove artificial trans fats from all menu items by July 1.
When first implemented last year, the Health Department ban applied only to fry oils and spreads. It now will also include baked goods, frozen foods, cannoli and doughnuts.

The nation’s health is in such disarray, its good to see a step away from trans fat in New York City. Hopefully other cities and localities will follow New York’s lead. Street vendors must be in a pickle, however.
