Nutrition and Healthy Eating
Handouts: Which Fat Would You Choose?

Fat is an important part of a healthy diet but the word often gets a bad rap. Fat comes in many forms and the easiest way to help children understand the differences is to use our Go, Slow and Whoa categories. When we think about colors of a stop light, the green represents Go, yellow tells us to Slow down, and red signals us to Stop. Just like a stop light we can think about the different types as Go, Slow, and Whoa fats.

● Go for unsaturated fats found in plants and fish that are good for our heart health and helps your child’s body grow by giving it fuel and helping to absorb vitamins.

● Slow with saturated fats found in meat, butter and cheese. Eating too much saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels and increase the chance of getting heart disease.

● Whoa with trans fats (or hydrogenated oils) found in snack foods, cookies, cakes and fried foods. Trans fats come from a chemical process, are not healthy and should be avoided when possible.

To learn more and start up a discussion with your child watch this video! For an additional challenge compare the fat on food labels using this worksheet to decide the healthiest option.
