NYC Trans Fat Ban in Full Effect Today
If you live in the Big Apple or plan to visit there in the near future, you'll be happy to know that the trans fat ban will be in full effect by today, July 1. Exactly a year ago, all restaurants were required to eliminate trans fat from their cooking oils, margarines, and shortenings. This second deadline states that all prepared foods from restaurants, bakeries, cafeterias, salad bars, and food carts must contain less than .5 grams of trans fat per serving.

Trans Fat Ban Moves to Cooking Schools
We've all heard the news about restaurants banning artificial trans fats nationwide but now it looks like folks are starting to get to the food before it even hits the restaurants: at cooking schools.
I am all for the banning of trans fats at cooking schools like Johnson & Wales as well as the Culinary Institute of America because budding cooks may learn ways to cook without the bad stuff while still keeping the food tasty. If we — or rather the great cooks out there — learn how to cook well without the heart clogging stuff then we won't even miss it when it's totally gone.
