another reason to not go out to eat

USNews.com: TKTKTK:
"Trans fats are clearly on their way out. Indeed, expert Walter Willett of Harvard University predicts they'll be nearly gone in five years. But there's a catch: The FDA labeling rule applies only to food sold in stores; it does not apply to restaurants, bakeries, and deli counters. So it's more than likely that you're still eating trans fats when you eat out. .... The solution is obvious: Eat at home more. 'You can't protect yourself unless you fix your meals at home from scratch,' says Suzanne Havala Hobbs, author of Get the Trans Fat Out."
