Would you consider that option with your ideas?
I personally love this idea:

Money - this is an excellent interview about the food industry http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2015/s4225649.htm?WT.mc_id=Innovation_News-Lateline%7CCardiol...
For those that do not want to click on the link, these paragraphs in particular in relation to the food industry:
So we have to think in a much more nuanced way about our health. And to be honest, the food industry: you know, they're there to sell food. They're there to make a profit. They have no interest in your health. That's a legal responsibility.
So they've manipulated things and bent the rules in a way where they've associated junk food and sport, which I think, really, is quite shameful. We have to end that association. This is having a negative impact on our children. The perceptions is that you can basically have a sugary drink or, you know, junk food, a burger and chips: as long as you exercise, that's fine. Well, actually, that's misleading and unscientific.
EMMA ALBERICI: Isn't it a little alarmist to be comparing the food industry to big tobacco, as you've done?
ASEEM MALHOTRA: It's not alarmist, Emma; it's the actual truth. Kelly Brownell, a professor at Yale, said - public health professor at Yale, very distinguished professor - said that he can think of nothing the food industry is doing that the tobacco industry didn't do.
And you've got to remember: it took 50 years from when the first links between smoking and lung cancer were raised, published in the British Medical Journal, before any effective regulation happened. And that's because big tobacco adopted what I call a "corporate playbook" of denial that their cigarettes were harmful, planting doubt, buying the loyalty of scientists and confusing the public.
And that level of denialism, just to put in perspective: in 1994, the CEOs of every major tobacco company went in front of US Congress and swore under oath they did not believe nicotine was addictive or smoking caused lung cancer. Let's remember. Let's learn from history and not let the same mistakes happen with the food industry in sugar. And I'm very concerned about that.

Nature doesn't make bad fats? ^^ Look at the right hand side of that poster
Canola - soybean - sunflower - corn - safflower - grapeseed
How are they not nature, and how are they bad?
