More cities are investigating trans fat bans... Los Angeles and Chicago are just a few of the latest to jump on the trans fat free bandwagon. Of course, LA may not have to worry about it since a state legislator is also trying to get a trans fat ban on the books.

December 2006  Will Los Angeles be the next trans fat free city? Lawmakers are considering a measure similar to the one in NYC to ban trans fats from restaurant fare!

Trans fats are officially off the menu in New York City. Restaurants must remove all trans fats from the food they serve to continue to do business in the big apple!

Gotta have your French fries? Consider stopping into Wendys. The fast food chain is replacing all of their partially hydrogenated frying oil with non-hydrogenated varieties for their fries and breaded chicken food products.
