One of the categories in "8 Habits to Health" is "Healthy Fats." The goal here is to limit foods high in saturated fats like red meat, butter, whole milk (red top), cheese, and ice cream, as well as processed foods made with trans fat from partially hydrogenated oil.
Unsaturated fats - in moderation - lower disease risk. Foods high in unsaturated fats include vegetable oils (such as olive, canola, sunflower, soy, and corn), nuts, seeds, and fish.

As you can see in the image, drinking 1% milk would definitely be a great way to reduce saturated fat in your diet. If you want to go even further, skim milk has no fat and only 80 calories!

In the the Comments box, post one way you are trying to choose more unsaturated over saturated fats.
I drink unsweetened soy milk which has no saturated fat and regularly fry my egg in the morning with olive oil. I'd like to get a spray bottle for the olive oil so I don't use as much.
