	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government recommends eating some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein as part of a healthy balanced diet. Government advice is that we should eat on average no more than 70 grams of red meat a day due to the increased risk of bowel cancer. It also recommends eating two portions of fish a week, one of which should be oily, as oily fish provide long chain omega-3 fatty acids, which may help to prevent heart disease.</p><p>Dietary recommendations for meat and fish consumption are published in the national food model, the <em>Eatwell Guide</em> and its supporting messages. The <em>Eatwell Guide</em> provides visual representation on national guidance of how a balanced diet looks. A copy of the <em>Eatwell Guide</em> is attached.</p><p>Supporting documentation includes the <em>Government Dietary Recommendations: Government recommendations for energy and nutrients for males and females aged 1-18 years and 19+ years</em>, which outlines the breakdown of calorie, vitamin and mineral intake for different age groups. A copy of the <em>Government Dietary Recommendations</em> is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy attachment 1 file name Eatwell_guide_colour.pdf title Eatwell Guide 2 file name government_dietary_recommendations.pdf title Government Dietary Recommendations question first answered 15/11/2018 16:25:57 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
