Trans disposed
Buona Beef -- that longtime advocate of eating healthy -- announced via press release today that they are in the process of eliminating trans fats from their frying oils.
“We are committed to providing our customers with healthier menu items and, at the same time, insist on preserving the same great taste of our foods,” said Joe Buonavolanto, Jr., executive vice president of BUONA restaurants and BUONA Catering.
OK, we know Buona has expanded its menu to offer more soups, more salads, more sandwiches that aren't Italian beef, but there's still something sweetly ironic about this effort to portray itself as heart smart.
