U.S. Marines and Sailors from the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Essex Amphibious Ready Group fill their plates with food at a steel beach picnic aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS Anchorage. Solid fats, or SoFAS, are solid at room temperature and are found in foods such as butter, cheese, meats and foods made with these products, such as pizza, burgers and fried foods. Foods containing SoFAS are often high in calories but don’t provide important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals or fiber. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Steve H. Lopez)
