title: Steps toward a fat-free future.
abstract: The most fundamental step in discussions about reducing fat in our diets is to emphasize a patient priority. With such a philosophy, we can take actions that best serve patients, while reducing the rising costs of care and making that care more affordable. A patient priority places the focus of efforts on empowering people and giving them the best value for their health dollars. It provides consumers with choices and information about those choices.
