The US FDA is proceeding with a plan to mostly eliminate trans fats from foods in the US.

It would be an injustice to try to ban eating or cooking with trans fats (or with sugar); however, regulating their use in processed food products, or in restaurants dishes where currently you would not easily find out they are used, is legitimate.

I wonder whether french fries can be made without trans fats, and whether they would be equally unpalatable.
