The failed Pied Piper better known as Nurse Bloomberg and his clown of a health commissioner may have lost what little control they have over where New York’s rats choose to dine, but their Tran Fat mess continues.

The New York Times has the details:

’Matthew Reich is a baker dedicated to natural ingredients. He prefers butter in the cookies and brioche he turns out at Tom Cat Bakery in Long Island City, Queens, and like many professional cooks he applauds the public health effort to get artificial trans fat out of food. But, in a twist of science, the law and what some call trans-fat hysteria, Mr. Reich and other wholesale bakers are being forced to substitute processed fats like palm oil and margarine for good old-fashioned butter because of the small amounts of natural trans fat butter contains.’
