| This may suprise you, but Italian style cuisine is very healthy for the
heart...there are several really good cookbooks out there and with a
little modification (use fresh tomatos or canned w/o salt, things like
that) it can make healthy food look good again. In particular, they
have some really nice fish dishes. You might also get a copy of
"Diet for a Small Planet" - it is vegetarian, but who said every
meal has to include meat? The recipes are tasty and nice to
look at.
With a problem like this, I recommend you get a subscription to
PREVENTION magazine for your parents. They have monthly recipes
and articles about healthy living that can be a real encouragement
when you are trying to change a long-standing lifestyle to one
that is healthier.
The Rodale press (they publish PREVENTION) also has
2 to 3 cookbooks that you can order. They stress low salt,
low chloresterol, high natural fiber dishes and THEY ALL TASTE
GOOD. Although they don't use much meat, they do have dishes
for the omnivores as well.

| Craig Clairborn (of the NY Times) has a no-salt, low cholesterol
cookbook out. Each recipe lists the amounts of fat, cholesterol,
calories, sodium. etc.

Type SHOW KEYWORDS/FULL and you'll finds all kinds of listings
that you're looking for. There are notes on low_cholesterol, low_salt,
fish, poultry, etc. The problem will be trying to decide which
recipes to try first!
I think there is another conference on Holistic health that
might have some more info for you, but I don't know where it is...any
one else know?
