Trans fats debate

New York City is debating the decision to force restaurants to ban trans fats. Partially hydrogenated (make up your mind, oils) vegetable shortening is not any cheaper than similar fats that don't clog your arteries like a yeti shave over a victorian bath drain. I wonder if they taste any different. Wendy's switched a few years ago and I haven't heard of anyone complaining about their non index finger value meals.

Interestingly, Denmark banned trans fats in 2003, I believe, and that country's doctors have already claimed a noticeable drop in arteriosclerosis.
