html - How to style each table cell in a column via CSS?

Question

I have an ordinary HTML table:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td class="first-column-style">FAT</td> 
    <td>...</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="first-column-style">FAT</td>
    <td>...</td>
  </tr>
</table>

I want to apply CSS style to every table cell (td) in a particular column. Is it possible to do that without applying the class/style attribute to every table cell in that column, and without JavaScript?

2015 answer, and based on the first-child answer but MUCH cleaner.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/%3Anth-child

td:nth-child(1) { /* first column */ }
td:nth-child(2) { /* second column */ }
td:nth-child(3) { /* third column */ }

Super clean code
