New York's trans-fat tsunami...

Nation's Restaurant News is reporting that Denny's, Loew's hotel chains, and Darden restaurants, owners of Red Lobster and Olive Garden are all switching away from trans fats in response to the New York ruling. Loew's will eliminate trans fat from room service to mini-bar selections.

Never one to miss a beat (or a sale), Lamb Weston has new fries processed in 100% canola oil, with less fat absorption. Less fat for you, and the frying oil will last longer. I wonder what the kids at Simplot are up to? (At last glance, they were still the supplier for McDonald's and about many, many others).
