Trans fat hits the fan today as the City Council considers banning the substance in New York City eateries.

But KFC got a leg up on the matter, announcing today that is has started using low linolenic soybean oil, replacing partially hydrogenated soybean oil.

Now, I know that the trans fat is bad for us, but I would submit that all the fried stuff is even worse. Perhaps we should shift to roasted chicken instead. Boston Market, anyone?
