Cut back fat

We all know too much fat is bad for us. But we don't always know where it's lurking. It seems to be in so many of the things we like, so it's sometimes difficult to know how to cut down. Fortunately, there are plenty of simple ways to go easy on the fat; simple things like comparing food labels, swapping certain foods for others and changes to the way we prepare and cook food.

Example tip: By grilling or baking food in the oven rather than frying it, parents can cut the fat content by as much as half.
