Los Angeles to Study Trans Fat Ban

The government war on trans fat, started when New York City banned it from restaurant food, has reached Los Angeles.

Los Angeles County supervisors voted Tuesday to study the feasibility of banning artificial trans fats from restaurants there, and the City Council in December had asked for similar report on at least restricting it.

"I'm very concerned about the whole trans-fat issue," Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke said after Tuesday's vote for the study. "Every time I buy something, I look to see if it has trans fat."
