The diet includes lean beef, veal, chicken, turkey and fish.

"With research, we have shown the public that lean beef is a good, healthy food," he said.

Chicken, pork, lean beef, fish, and lamb are all good.

Last fall the department decided, as one official put it, to give the leanest beef "a more positive image."

"We produce lean beef with sufficient fat cover to give it flavour," he says.

This was achieved through use of 91% lean beef and the addition of carrageenan to the meat.

Five years ago there were more than 50 producers of lean beef, all of them quite small.

It has a much lower fat content than even the leanest beef.

Eat lean beef, lamb, turkey, chicken or fish as often as you wish.
