Feet for Cholesterol

++ Have you ever wondered which meats are better or worse for you, considering the 'bad' kinds of fats and cholesterol?  I recently went to a dietitians' conference:  one of the speakers had an easy way to decide what kind of animals to consider.  Of course, the part of the animal you eat and how you cook it also make a difference; but, many times, you can see that fat. Here's her tip choosing the kind of meat to eat:

More feet = more to be concerned about. 

  • no feet - fish (all kinds, but cold-water fish are great choices)
  • 2 feet - chicken, turkey and other lean poultry
  • 4 feet - beef, pork, lamb (and many game animals, some of which are low in fat because they are so active)
  • more feet - lobster, shrimp, other crustaceans.
