Lecture Notes

Alright, so where do we get our sources of fats? On the left side of the screen here you can see some better choices for getting your fat intake—your daily recommended value. You can see an avocado (which is actually high in fat, but also pretty good for you), walnuts (pictured here), olive oil; so those are all pretty good choices for getting fat into your diet.

On the right side you have some choices that are probably not as good. You have the saturated fats, the marbling you can see in the steaks that are on the grill here, again saturated fats in butter, you have shortening products like Crisco, and then you have your ice cream and your chocolate. Again, animal products often have those saturated fats. Non-animal products do not have the saturated fats.
