Trans-fat-free, coming to a restaurant near you?

For a seemingly health-conscious state (cue models, actresses and yogis), Cali is behind the healthy 8 ball. You'd think in LA of all places menus would be mostly organic, fresh-market, etc. but there are actually tons of trans-fat-laden restos. That is, until the Terminator steps in. In 2010, California will be the first state to ban trans-fats at restaurants. If busted, the restaurants or food retailer will be hit with a fine to the tune of $25 -$1,000. Strange range, huh?

According to BBC News, This ban is projected to prevent somewhere between 6% and 19% of heart attacks in CA. Wowza. Nice work Arnold!
