The statistics are familiar, the warnings redundant. Fast food is bad for you. Trans fat is less an ingredient than a death sentence handed down by overgrown teenagers in paper hats. If you want to live - and live well - cut the cheese fries out of your diet. No quarter for the "quarter pounder!"

Some bakers are being forced to substitute processed fats for real butter because of the small amounts of natural trans fat butter contains.

For much of the country, it's Girl Scout cookie time again. And this year, all those cookies, not just the Thin Mints and a few others, will come nearly free of harmful trans fats.

Ban here. Ban there. Next up, it's Starbucks. No, not a ban on the coffee (though that wouldn't be a horrible thing), but a ban on foods with trans-fats from Starbucks stores
