UW grads: Don’t ban trans fats, just educate

Dan Chavas and Eli Persky just want to chew the fat, not ban it.

The two UW-Madison grads on Wednesday unveiled an awards system that seeks to “start a dialogue” about trans fat, not outlaw it as other cities, like Philadelphia, have done. The “Low Trans Fat Awards” honor local restaurants that serve a no or low trans fat menu.
