A new law started yesterday in California (see below). In fact 40,697 new laws started yesterday in the US (my guess is that a good proportion of these new laws are either trivial, unnecessary or against your rights and freedom -- but then again I am pretty jaded):

A California measure that limits trans fat in restaurant food also takes effect January 1. Enacted in 2008, it requires restaurants to use oils, margarines and shortenings that have less than half a gram of trans fat per serving. A similar provision will apply to baked goods in 2011.
