Gillibrand: Gets trans-fats out of schools

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is calling for the removal of all artificial trans-fats from school meals.

The junior senator from New York wrote to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack this week urging him to follow recommendations made by the Institute of Medicine.

The IOM report said trans-fats have no place in school breakfasts and lunches.
