But what the heck is the point of having this trans fat law for New York City effective July 1 if no fines are given and nothing is enforced until October 1? How stupid.
And notice how this only applies to oils and spreads. What are these other non-oil and spreads that have transfats? There's also nothing preventing these people from using higher saturated fat replacements. I am slightly hesitant to declare a victory for health here.

And there is still some question about whether the ingredients restaurants are using instead of trans fats are just as bad for you. Restaurants can comply by switching to a cooking oil high in saturated fat, which could clog your arteries almost as quickly.
The tougher transition on trans fats could come a year from now, when the city has ordered artificial trans fats out of all products, not just oils and spreads.
