Ohio is among 15 states trying to ban artery-clogging trans fats from restaurants.
The legislative proposals have met strong opposition.
The strongest opposition has been from the National Restaurant Association and its state-level affiliates.
Restaurants appear to be clinging to trans fats for cooking because of taste and price.
A lobbyist for the Ohio Restaurant Association wants a gradual
phase-out of trans fats.
Supporters of the bills say it's easy to switch to other oils such as canola or corn oil.
