Quick Survey -- For the UK folks, and others
Hi!
Quick survey ... mostly for the UK folks but if you live in the US, Australia, Canada, etc. where some version of our American My Plate/Food Pyramid is recommended you can participate too (just identify please ;-) )
Your government counsels limiting fats in general and saturated fats in particular. Can you list 3-5 foods that you would limit in order to limit sat fats? In other words, what foods does your government suggest be limited in order to lower sat fat consumption.
Thanks!

fatty cuts of meat

butter, ghee and lard
cheese, especially hard cheese
cream, soured cream and ice cream
some savoury snacks and chocolate confectionery
biscuits, cakes and pastries
Personally, I cut down on junk food, and that reduces junk fat. I do not go into it any deeper than that.
In Glasgow fish and chip shops they have been known to deep fry pizza and battered mars bars , the joke goes that the romans built Hadrian's wall to prevent the scots coming down and frying their pizzas.
France: slogan:manger bouger. It's all about balancing meals so meals have to include the right elements.
Limit: saturated fats which can be found in:
Certain oils such as palm oil.
Products of animal origin, cheese, butter, crème fraiche, fatty meat
vienoisseries(ie croissants and brioches) , patisseries, biscuits,
deep fried and bread crumbed products,
ready meals.
Lots of info about what they mean by limiting ie cheese is high in calcium so good but not
too much (ie 30g portion) or choose fromage blanc (that's made from skimmed milk) or low fat yoghurts(but check these for added sugars)
Don’t cook in fat just add a bit of butter for flavour.
You are told to check labels and avoid partially hydrogenated fats.
On the other hand you are also told that some fats may contribute to cardiovascular health : avocado,nuts, olives , oily fish, colza, olive and nut oils and some meats ( so for example locally duck seems approved of by the dietitian because high in monounsat fat' )
They mention uncooked olive, colza or nut oil daily as a seasoning on veg or salad.

I'm in Australia.
I think our food plate is fairly reasonable for general across the board recommendations for our whole population. If people actually followed it...

"But where is the butter food group"?
"But where is essential saturated fat recommendations for cellular membranes"?

How to reduce fat
Choose lean cuts of meat from your supermarket and butcher.
Before cooking, cut off any fat you can see from meat and chicken and remove the chicken skin after cooking.
Grill, bake, boil, steam, stir-fry or microwave your food instead of frying it.
Skim off the fat from stews and gravies.
Use only a little oil, margarine or butter for cooking and as a spread.
Choose low-fat milk, cheese, yoghurt and salad dressings.
Remove the skin from takeaway chicken and the batter from takeaway fish.
When eating out, avoid meals that are cooked in fat or have creamy sauces or rich gravies.
There is also a 'How to reduce sugar' and 'How to reduce salt' section.
There is the traditional generic drink plenty of fluids advice: "You need about 6–8 cups of water or other drinks each day to keep your body working properly."
And when it comes to dairy products apparently we need to consume "At least 2 servings every day"
Our economy health depends on it ;)
