It's often per- ceived as much lower than it really is," she said. For those whose eyes have tired of the fine print, here is a fine example of where big picture thinking fits into a healthy diet trame. "You have to put fat gramas in terms ot the total diet," said Ms Mina. In tact, moat healthy aduits need about 30 per cent of their total calo- ries to be trom fat. In women 19 to 49, that generally means about 65 grams of' fai per day. lit men of' the same age, 30 per cent translates int about 90 grama. Nutritional listings are also vital tor learning the difference between low- fat versus light. What is 'light?' "When it just says light it doesn't have to mean it's low in fat or calo- ries," said Ms Mina. "It can just mean it's light in color or taste." In the Nutrition Expedition Jr. tour, tat fears are set aside for more practi- cal considerations, like how to turn your toddler it a urnip lover. -We talk about picky eaters and how to encourage them to est fruits and vegetables," aaid Ms Mina. One tactic is to take the tike with you on your grocery trips and let them pick their own veggies. Another way is to fool 'em. "Throw vegetables into toods they already est," suggested Ms Mina. "Throw some on a pizza. Or eut them up into interesting shapes and sizes."
