Answer to Question 1

Healthy fats would include those from nuts (walnuts), seeds, and certain oils such as soybean, safflower, corn, flaxseed, olive, or canola oils. Less healthy fats would be those that are saturated (from animal products), tropical oils (palm or coconut), and partially-hydrogenated fat (trans fatty acids). Low-fat foods may be a better choice for cardiovascular health, but they are not calorie-free and so must be consumed with portion control in mind.

Answer to Question 2
