Jessica Shapiro CAN you have your cake and eat it? Not if you
want to reduce the fat in your diet. The Heart Foundation is
working with councils to reduce the levels of unhealthy oils and
fats in the food chain. Working on the supply side of the food
chain was an effective way to influence how food was produced
and consumed to reduce the 34 per cent of Australian deaths
caused by cardiovascular disease, Penny Milson, a spokeswoman
for the foundation, said. ''We know that coronary heart disease
is essentially preventable,'' she said. ''A lot of Australians
eat way too much saturated fats but they aren't thinking about -
when they purchase meals outside the home - what the fat and
saturated fat content might be.'' Up to a quarter of meals come
from takeaway outlets, cafes or restaurants and there is a push
to educate retailers to use less oil and better types of oil
rather than replacing it alt
