“…The traditional Mediterranean diet, whose principal source of fat is olive oil, includes these dietary characteristics and there is also some evidence that it can be applicable to other dietary cultures and cuisines (36) . For the last 30 years many investigators have recognized the beneficial role of this diet on CVD, metabolic disorders and several types of cancer (37)(38)(39)(40) .…”

Objective: The aim of the present work was to calculate the current cost of the Mediterranean diet in Greece and to evaluate the role of diet cost in the development of cardiovascular events after a 5-year follow-up. Design: Cross-sectional. Cost of diet was measured in h/week based on common Greek dietary choices, while baseline dietary habits were assessed through a semiquantitative FFQ (Greek-EPIC). The Mediterranean Diet Score (MedDietScore) was applied to assess overall adherence to this pattern using scores of eleven food variables and alcohol, according to the principles of the Mediterranean diet. Setting: Five-year follow-up of the ATTICA study, a nutrition and health survey of a representative, free-living sample of the Greek population resident in the province of Attica, where Athens is a major metropolis.

“…There has been increasing interest over recent years to investigate more about the implications of fat consumption on human health and various fatty acid ratios have been proposed as recommendations (Van Horn et al, 2008). For some time, the n-6/n-3 ratio has been used as an indicator of the role of fatty acids in the incidence of cardiogenic diseases.…”

Fatty acid profiles are a major contributor to meat quality in small ruminants. Nevertheless, while fatty acid profiles from suckling lambs have been extensively studied they are virtually unknown in suckling kids. Fatty acid profiles of intramuscular and kidney knob fat depots of suckling kids were compared with fatty acid profiles of lambs with a quality label in the Spanish market. Forty suckling kids from Blanca Celtibérica (BC), Moncaína (Mo), Negra Serrana (NS) and Murciano Granadina (MG) breeds and 20 Churra male suckling lambs labelled with ‘Lechazo de Castilla y León’ Protected Geographic Indication were slaughtered at commercial live weights (12 kg). In both depots differences in the unsaturated fatty acid profile were observed between breeds. The most pronounced differences were observed between meat goat breeds (BC, Mo and NS) and lambs, whilst a greater similarity in the fatty acid profile was observed between kids from dairy goat breeds (MG) and lambs. The lowest polyunsaturated fatty acid content was observed in meat goat breeds (approximately 21 to 22% of total fatty acids detected in the intramuscular fat). No significant differences in atherogenic index and desirable fatty acid content (range 68 to 70% of total fatty acids detected) were observed. However, a more favourable (lower than 8.07) n-6/n-3 ratio was observed in meat goat breeds. The use of fatty acid profiles from intramuscular and kidney knob fat could be proposed as a tool to differentiate goat kids and lambs. The fact that intramuscular fat from suckling kids and lambs shows appropriate lipid nutritional indices and their low carcass fatness indicate that moderate consumption of suckling kid and lamb meat may contribute to an overall balanced diet for humans.

“…All visible fat and skin should be removed from the pieces. Fatty fish (salmon, sardine, tuna, mackerel), a good source of n-3 fatty acids, must be included once per week; the meals including eggs or egg products should be used once per week (21)(22)(23)(24) .…”

Objective: To develop a software to plan and evaluate school meals according to the main national and international standards for foods and nutrition. Design: Development of software. Setting: Public schools, Portugal. Subjects: School meals for students. Results: The System of Planning and Evaluation of School Meals (SPARE) is a software that allows the planning of school meals in an effective and organized way, according to the main national and international standards for food and nutrition. The regular use of this tool enables the evaluation, monitoring and verification towards continuous improvement of the quality of school meals. Conclusions: The SPARE software aims to promote healthy eating by focusing on the planning and production of safe and adequate meals in the school environment. This software can be adapted to different age groups and to different contexts, attending to specific nutritional and food standards.
