Maryland county bans trans fat in restaurants

WP:

The Montgomery County Council unanimously approved a ban on partially hydrogenated oils in restaurants, supermarket bakeries and delis yesterday, becoming the first county in the nation to restrict artery-clogging trans fats.

Good news, the first county to ban trans fat! As more and more cities and counties ban trans fat, restaurants (especially chains) will start to default to trans fat free cooking and everyone, even those in places where trans fat is allowed, will benefit.
