California Is Set to Ban Trans Fats


California wants to get rid of those trans fats from your favorite fast food restaurants. Lawmakers this week approved a bill that would ban restaurants and bakeries from using trans fats. Laws that protect consumers from their own unhealthful habits have more than a whiff of the nanny state about them, though that hasn't stopped cities such as New York and Philadelphia from banning trans fats. California would take these measures a step further by becoming the first state to forbid them if the bill, AB 97, is signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Trans fats can be found in partially hydrogenated oil. It is a thick lard-like goo that is beloved by the food industry because it maintains its shelf life for long periods of time without refrigeration. It also enhances texture for some foods and it is very cheap. Scientific evidence is strong that it's also terrible for you, increasing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
