Unit 3: You Are What You Eat: Healthy Meal Planning

Question 7 • Nutrition and Wellness (IS)

Darius is trying to eat healthy since he took an anatomy and physiology class in school and learned about the dangers of clogged arteries. He gets ready to cook some perch he caught fishing this afternoon. Considering what Darius has learned, which would be the BEST fat to prepare the perch in?

Answer
A
olive oil
B
butter
C
Crisco
D
margarine

Explanation

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat, an unsaturated fat that is generally a healthier choice for heart and artery health. Butter is high in saturated fat, while Crisco and some margarines may contain unhealthy fats depending on their formulation. So olive oil is the best choice for preparing the perch.
