NYC bans trans fats

[kahljorn]

can't you just like goto a restaurant that's healthier and doesn't have transfats(not sure if they don't) like in and out or something?

I agree the time limit is a bit much but i don't really see why transfat is a big deal with recipes anyway. They knew it was bad for people and yet they put enough in it that their recipes actually need to be completely changed? Kind of strange. It's not as if they haven't had 10 years or whatever since all these health fads started going on to start researching new recipes. Some companies did and came out with new exciting ideas like salads drenched in dressing worse than the hamburgers. PERSPECTIVE: I think mcdonalds double cheese burgers contain 1.5 grams of transfat. That means they only have to reduce it one gram. Big whooptidue and if that makes it taste like shit than that just shows how shitty the food was in the first place.

and I've never made a recipe that called for transfat (i usually don't even use shortening). Do you know how easy it is to make bread or doughnuts or french fries what the hell it's stupid that they are complaining it will be SO HARD to find new recipes. OH NO I HAVE TO FIND A NEW WAY TO FRY FRENCH FRIES IN OIL.
I can understand it being hard to find a new, reliable source of what they want for the recipes but still.

any good restaurant (like above denny's quality) shouldn't have transfat in the recipes. That's why you pay for good food because it's good quality.

quite frankly businesses will bitch about any changes but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a relevant point they're making or that they are even necessarily telling the truth.
