Trans fat ban - In-N-Out not affected?

With California state legislators putting the nix on trans fats in restaurants, how will this affect In-N-Out? According to the SF Chronicle, it takes 1.5 grams of trans fats to make a typical double double. I'm guessing the fries won't be too affected, though, seeing as they are pretty wimpy (but healthy) tasting compared to other fast food fries.

A In-N-Out VP told the Petaluma Argus-Courier that he doesn't know how much trans fats In-N-Out uses, but says the fries are cooked in 100 percent vegetable oil and at most, contain "only a sprinkling" of trans fats. What the hell? They sprinkle trans fats on things (yes, I know it's just a turn of phrase, but it seems to be something you would say just to indemnify against an accusation of lying).
