American Dietetic Association and its 25,000 members, the" week-long observance has as its theme, “Nutrition Saves.” Cooperating is Dairy Council Inc., of Southamp ton, Pa., whose staff of professional nutritionists present audio-visual nutrition programs and workshops for educational and professional leaders in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. “With fluctuating food costs and new lifestyles changing meal patterns. Nutrition Saves is a doubly important message for everyone,” said Robert C. McKinley, Dairy Council president. He explained that proper nutrition will save on dollars spent on -the weekly food budget and also save and enhance good health. Daily food intake, including snacks, should be built around the basic Pour Food Groups-meat and fish, fruits and vegetables, enriched or whole-grain breads and cereals, and milk and dairy products. McKinley advises preparing a shopping list before going to the store and be sure it includes items from the Four Food Groups. Eating these foods daily will not only provide better health, but will also yield savings by replacing nutritionally inadequate, yet often more expensive, items. Dairy Council nutritionists offer these suggestions: Instead of potato chips, buy fresh potatoes; replace soft drinks with orange juice or milk; substitute candy and cookies with cheese or bread sticks; buy meats, fruits and vegetables that are in season; combine lower-cost protein items, such as beans, peanut butter or cheese with higher-cost meats. Whenever possible, avoid “convenience” foods. McKinley concluded: “We hope people will think about the importance of sound nutrition not only during National Nutrition Week, but throughout the year. Sound nutrition is important to everyone and can be at tained without straining the food budget.” TRY A CLASSIFIED AD 39
