And in health news, New York City has become the first in the country to ban trans fats from most restaurants and fast-food chains.

New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden: “Trans fats increase your risk of heart attack, stroke and death, and they don’t have to be there, so it’s important that we eliminate them, and we’ve made tremendous progress in doing that. I think just from having this debate, we’ve seen a number of national chains removing trans fat, have much more information about it, and I’m confident that most items sold by July of next year will not have trans fat, and that’s going to mean that New Yorkers live longer and healthier lives.”

Fast-food chains, including McDonald’s and Burger King, that have yet to eliminate trans fats will have until July of next year before facing penalties. The ban was passed after several fast-food companies failed to meet voluntary benchmarks to reduce trans fats.
