Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm glad that you mentioned that example, following Dr. Dhalla's question about whether there was anything else. You went from sodium to energy to fats, and that's where I want to ask a question.
This is from our friend Dr. Freedhoff. You didn't seem to agree with his opinion, but he's currently attending the Obesity Society annual meeting in Boston, and he asked Dr. Walter Willett, who is the chairman of the department of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, to review the document.
One of his comments that came in an e-mail directed just yesterday from the society meeting was this, and it relates to fats, “Like the U.S. guidelines, the draft Canadian document is still fat phobic. There's a suggestion to use a very limited amount of vegetable oils, but there are recommendations to reduce or avoid fat in general, when it's really trans fat and partially hydrogenated food that should be totally avoided, and saturated fat that should be limited. The main message should be to replace trans and saturated fat with unsaturated fat.”
So as much as you've heard from people about fats, did this consideration work its way into the final draft?
