OVERWEIGHT
AND THE
ENERGY CRISIS
If you are overweight, has
it occurred to you that you
are an overconsumer/of
energy that you are
contributing to a national
problem, not Just a health
problem -of your own?
Well, it’s a fact. For no
food is produced in this
country I unless it is by your
own labor) that does not in
its production use some of
the nation’s supply of
energy.
The Chain Of Energy Use
Farmers directly use
electricity and fuel in, their
operations. Then the food is
shipped to market and-or to
the processing plant, using
still more energy. And
finally, the retail operations
that bring the food to your
neighborhood and your home
also use energy.
Thus, the more you con
sume, the more you draw on
our country’s energy
sources.
Even if you grow your own
vegetables you may still use
gasoline for cultivation and
trips to the store for seed and
fertilizer. And in home
preserving or canning you
will draw on energy sources
indirectly.
Thus every mouthful of
food has its cost in terms of
energy.
Ultimately, some
authorities are saying, we

Doctor
in the Kitchen 9
by Laurence M. Hursh, M.D.
Consultant, National Dairy Council
will have to learn to live' with
scarcity. Well, I hope that
won’t be true. But first I do
know we had better learn to
more efficiently use what
food we do have.
So let’s start with people
who overeat and, if there are
any, people who waste food.
I would hope that there is
not a lot of the latter in our
society. But assuming there
isn’t obvious waste of food,
what about it being wasteful
for someone to eat too much?
Particularly if we are having,
a problem already witlu
having enough energy to
produce food for all our
people.
A New Perspective
So if you are overweight,
think about this new per
spective that you are not
only threatening your health
but the health of others as
well.
This even gets down, in the
extreme, to an overly fat
person taking up too much
room in a bus where seat
space may be at a premium,
particularly during rush
hours. I don’t mean to
lecture but we may be on our
way to thinking that over
weight is not just a health or
appearance problem.
