Starbucks announced yesterday that pasteries and other foods sold at half of its outlets will be free of trans fats starting this week.

NetSweat.com comments: We applaud this move, particularly given the ability of Starbucks to influence trends within the restaurant industry. Of course, we would be happier if Starbucks were to offer a bigger selection of healthy foods and start more aggressively offering non-fat milk. (Most locations offer non-fat milk, but you have to ask. Otherwise, you will get gut-busting whole milk in your latte.)
