Starbucks 1, butter 0
New York City’s decision to ban artificial trans fats from restaurants has prompted some chains across the U.S. to do the same. Unfortunately, many people do not realize that there are naturally occurring trans-fats.
“Things like a New York ban on trans fats create hysteria, and when you create hysteria people overreact, and when people overreact they start taking whole food groups out of their diet because there might be a little trans in it,” he said
As such, when labeling requires you list trans-fats, vendors don’t want to say 1.5g naturally occurring trans-fats. This has prompted Starbucks to cut all bakery products containing butter. I feel this is totally ridiculous, What’s next? I will need to sign a waiver to order a latte with its naturally occurring trans-fats?
