Just do your find('list') for the select options outside of any if/else block:
public function action()
{
if (!empty($this->data))
{
if ($this->Whatever->save($this->data))
{
// redirect
}
else
{
// flash msg, no redirect
}
}
$this->set(
'foods',
$this->Food->find('list', array(...))
);
}
This way, the only time you're not fetching the options is when you've
redirected after a successful save.
