I was really shocked when I saw this on cnn last night. Seems very out of line for the city government to legislate what people can eat. This seems like a good opportunity to let the people work unhealthy food out of the system on their own - IE, people stop ordering trans fatty foods, restaurants stop putting them on the menu. The government has no business saying what we can or cannot eat.

If challenged, will this hold up in court? (This may be answered in article, I've pulled an all nighter here so I may have missed it)
