Fat makes up 60% of your brain's dry weight... and DHA, which you must get from your diet (your body cannot make it), is an Omega-3 that composes much of the tissue in the brain.
Healthy dietary fats promote good cholesterol levels, and help regulate insulin and other hormones. For some people, higher fat in their diet prevents diabetes, metabolic syndrome and hypoglycemia, as well as helps them lose weight. Everyone needs a different amount of fat, some need more, some much less.
Without any fat you would develop:
Blindness, impaired immunity, osteoporosis, depression, cancer!
Your skin and hair would be dry or brittle...
Your organs would shiver in the cold...

What is recommended level zinc per day?
Recommended daily intake (RDI) for Zinc (chemical symbol: Zn) ranges from 2 mg for infants up to six (6) months old, to 15 mg and above for adults --- and is dependent on age (infancy, pre-teen, teenage, and adult), gender, body weight, consideration of daily calorie intake, pregnancy and breastfeeding status, and on other factors such as considerations for prescribed medications which might contradict the effect of minerals and other nutrients.
Other considerations include behavioral factors such absence or presence of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs (for example, alcoholism may interfere with absorption of certain minerals and vitamins), and medical factors such as the presence of genetic conditions, chronic disease, gastro-intestinal conditions, or post-surgical conditions which prevent or reduce Zn absorption.
The WHO (World Health Organization) and UNICEF are advocates of use of zinc supplements for control and prevention of fatal infantile and child diarrhea in developing countries with chronic or critical malnutrition problems. In developed countries, general opinion is that there are sufficient amounts of Zn already present in most foods, so there is little risk of deficiency. There is, however, some risk of excessive intake, particularly where Zn is already abundant in soil and drinking water.
Good sources of information include food and nutrition databases, environmental science, and medical references which provide detail on precautions that might be required or implicated.

That is the math. But do not substitute pills for each other without consulting a doctor or pharmacist. That could be very dangerous and even cost you your life. For example. the coating on a pill, particularly a time-release pill, could make a huge difference in how a pill works if you try to split it or if you try to take several smaller pills instead of one large pill.
This depends on what kind of plant you are referring to, and whether you mean in the nursery or in the field.
In the field, plants are measured in feet- in the US- by height and width.Trees can be measured by height and width, but are also measured by the diameter of the trunk at 4' high- known as the 'caliper' of the tree.
In the nursery, plants are usually sold by the size of the container- 1 qt, 1 gal, 3 gal., etc. Here again, sometimes you see shrubs sold by height, and trees by height and/or caliper.
Rice pilaf is not considered a healthy food. It contains white rice, butter, pasta, and chicken broth which makes it high in fat and salt and carbs.
