The first thought of many thoughts and suggestions when dealing with saturated fat in our diet is to be aware of the culture in which we live. My Industrialized Culture For myself personally, I live in what I consider an industrialized culture that is both fast-paced and consumer-based. In my experience a consumerbased model that involves competition and choice eventually keeps the quality of service, product, or idea better in some way. The downside is that appealing to what people are willing to spend money on in regard to food can lead to many unhealthy choices especially when looking at fast food or traveling. Over the past couple of years, I've seen more health-based restaurants and healhier food in convenience
store shelves. However, this took years to come to pass and was on the heels of years of heart disease and other issues like diabetes in the general population. Heart Disease in North America Heart disease is known now to cause more deaths in America regardless of background than any other disease. Coronary heart disease is the most common heart disease.

Over time the plaque build up begins to narrow the inside of the arteries and blocks or diminishes the blood flow. This can create a blood clot.
Other Causes of Artereosclerosis Other causes of include smoking, gender, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, etc,. The Role of Saturated Fat in Our Diets

One example I discovered was that three sausage links for breakfast can give you half of the recommended RDA you need in one day.
