Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The meal contains several high-fat items such as the Italian dressing, cheese biscuits, and chocolate mousse, which contribute to its high calorie content. Trimming the pork cutlet reduces visible fat but does not make the entire meal low in fat. Essential fatty acids are specific types of fats beneficial for health, but the statement about very large amounts is not supported by the meal description. Vegetarian diets can also contain fat, depending on the food choices.
