You can't make a choice without information!
Trans fats, found in many cakes, pastries, pies, chips and fast foods, are chemically altered vegetable oils used to bulk up foods and increase their shelf life. They have no nutritional value and boost levels of "bad" cholesterol, thereby increasing the chances of a heart attack. Trans fats also occur naturally in meat and dairy products, but these pose no risk.

* Fish and chicken or turkey without the skin. Lean cuts of meat instead of fatty meats.
* Fruits, vegetables, and grains like beans, rice, corn tortillas, and pasta.
Cook with less fat.
* Bake, broil, or boil instead of frying.
* Use a nonstick pan with cooking oil spray.
* Use only a little bit of vegetable oil or margarine instead of lard, shortening, or butter.
* Cook beans and rice without lard, bacon, or other fatty meats. Season the beans with green pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, or cilantro.
Throw the fat away.
* Cut the fat off beef and pork before you cook.
* Remove the skin from the chicken and turkey before you eat.
