Schwarzenegger signs law banning trans fats in restaurants
Most California eateries must stop cooking with all but small amounts of the substances by 2010. A trade group opposed the legislation but voices confidence that members will meet the deadline.
California became the first state to require restaurants to cook without artery-clogging trans fats, such as those in many oils and margarines, under restrictions signed into law Friday by the health-conscious governor.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a physical-fitness advocate and crusader against obesity, sided with legislators who said the measure would help get the fat out of Californians who are too dependent on fast food.
