Treat Yourself Well Campaign

Man: I could die next week and I really wouldn't care if I was fat or skinny.

Narrator: The Wood brothers love to eat out, but you won't catch them ordering any light dishes.

Man 1: They don't taste as good as the fat ones I guess. You have to add a little bit more salt and pepper or something just to spruce them up usually.

Narrator: These tasters beg to differ.

Taster 1: Way too good.

Taster 2: So good. I'm enjoying it completely. Who would ever think to put a black bean sauce on salmon! It's wonderful.

Narrator: These chefs would. They're working for restaurants that are participating in the Treat Yourself Well campaign.

Woman 1: The chefs are artists, they're creators. They're coming up with really great dishes. Food doesn't have to have butter and cream and salt in it to make it taste good.

Narrator: The key is to make low-fat food that's still full of flavor. This pizza from Sammy's has non-fat cheese and two servings of vegetables. You can't tell the difference between this and more fattening pizza.

Chef: We've added non-fat cheese, non-fat dressing, and added extra vegetables to all the entrees.

Taster 3: Because we're eating out four or five times a week, that splurge is happening four or five nights a week, and you know we have to do something about it. I really think it's about re-educating your palette.

Narrator: It certainly didn't take much effort to learn to love this healthy food.

Taster 3: This is only the eighth thing I've eaten!

Taster 4: Oh, it's excellent. It's so great that I'm getting all these fruits and vegetables; it's really changing my diet.

Narrator: With photojournalist Greg Madison, Sally Sherry, Ten News.
