California has become the first state to ban the use of trans fat cooking oils.  This law went into effect on January 1st. 

 

Of course there are exceptions and those manufacturers who make baked or deep fried items have until 2011 to switch.

 

Now I understand what they are trying to do because evidence continues to grow showing that trans fats clog arteries and can cause heart disease, but most of the products we eat that contain trans fats are baked or deep fried so why pass the law now yet allow food manufacturers that make the trans fat foods we eat the most wait until 2011. 

 

I also wonder how much of an impact this will really have on the health care issues that California faces.  Are trans fats really the worst thing that is causing the obesity problem in California?

 

I know I can name a handful of other things that are contributing quite significantly to the obesity problem. 

 

What do you think? 

 

Will banning trans fat cooking oils and products made with trans fats solve the problem?
