As of today, restaurants in California may no longer use partially hydrogenated or vegetable oil, also known as trans fats. Many cities across the country have banned this oil, but California is the first entire state to do so. Trans fats have been found in studies to be unhealthy and bad for your heart. Most restaurants and fast food chains have already switched to Canola or other oils. So if you have a New Year's bunch today in California, you can almost feel healthy when you order french fries or donuts - almost healthy.
