« Full to bursting three days later | Main | A quiche by any name » Tuesday, January 2, 2007Trans fats nudged out
The anti-trans fat bandwagon is rolling along. Now giant Starbucks has dumped trans fats from the baked goods sold in half of its stores across the United States. Boston is one of the cities where muffins, gingerbread, and other goodies will no longer contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, according to an Associated Press story. New York is another, but then the city banned trans fats in restaurants in December anyway. Boston is mulling over such a ban. When Americans get going on something -- whether low-carb diets or mocha lattes -- they go all out. Cutting out trans fats can only be a good thing. But to actually trim obesity, Starbucks customers might want to think about drinking coffee black -- or at least without the caramel and whipped cream. Posted by Alison Arnett at 05:45 PM
