Then don't eat out.

If your dietary concerns are such that having some trans-fats is unacceptable then you shouldn't eat in your average restaurant. Go to one that chooses to cater to your needs. It's the same issue as someone with a severe nut allergy going to a Thai restaurant and expecting a sterile, peanut-free meal. It is the allergy-afflicted diner’s responsibility to take it into their own hands and only eat at places they know are safe for them.

Of course, if people only patronize restaurants that offer trans-fat free food then it's likely all restaurants will voluntarily follow suit. But to expect to legislate a legitimate foodstuff out of restaurants because of a few new studies is absurd.

Don't forget that over twenty years ago, saturated fats were demonized in much the same way. Unsaturated fats and fatty acids have been attacked since (admittedly less severely). I don't think I need to point out any specific fanfare about olive oil, lauric acid, and Omega 3 that has taken the place of all the nay-saying to illustrate that even the most thorough study isn't finite.

I am so happy to hear more about getting rid of trans fats in restaurants. This is a real problem as we do not know what we are getting when we eat out.]]>

This is interesting news. After skimming through the CRFA's guide to reducing trans fats (available on their website), it seems that they are targeting trans fats occurring from processing, rather than going after even the naturally occuring trans fats in meat and dairy, which is a topic of debate in the NYC trans fat ban - see this article - http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/07/dining/07tran.html?ex=1333598400&en=3ae779817b8842c9&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Thanks for the post.]]>
