NUTRITION TODAY
IN A NUTSHELL
For the past few months, a
television program titled
“Nutrition for Today" has
been presenting a series of
panel discussions by
nutritionists. The series was
produced by the U. S
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare and
WROTV, the NBC station in
Washington, D. C. Other
NBC stations also have been
telecasting the program

How have our eating
habits changed in recent
years?
- There are more and more
packaged "convenience”
foods in supermarkets;
fewer foods are cooked
“from scratch” at home.
- Fast-food chains provide
fairly inexpensive food;
families eat away from
home often.
- For many of us, the pace
of life has speeded up and
more meals are eaten “on
the run.” Fewer families sit

Farm Women
Attend Annual Picnic
The annual Lancaster
County Farm Women picnic
was held Wednesday, August
7 at the Lampeter Fair
Grounds. A delicious display
of food from the members
favorite recipes, ranging
from zucchini casserole to
peach cobbler, decorated the
tables. ,
Following the picnic, in
which approximately 100
members and their families
participated, the executive
board meeting was con
ducted by President, Mrs.
Carl Johnson.
Mrs. Robert Gregory,
First Vice President, ad
vised that the Farm & Home
Center is co-sponsor with
the Garden Club at a Flower
Show, which is open to the
public and is to be held
down to eat three, or even
one or two meals together.
- Few of us eat three
balanced meals a day that
have been planned and
prepared by one person who
is trying to meet the
nutritional needs of the
entire family.
It seems to me the real
crux of change has been the
breaking down of the family
group eating at home. Under
the new situation, family
members, except probably
very young ones, do not now
nourish themselves under
the watchful and careful eye
of mother. This means we
may well have lost one of the
most important values of
“mothercraft.”
In its place, the individual
must now know more of what
he or she is doing,
nutritiona’ly. We probably

A communication was
read from the Christmas
Seal Campaign thanking the
societies for former par
ticipation and advising that
envelope stuffing would no
longer be required due to
automation.
Members were urged to
start sewing their long
dresses for the Style Show to
be held at the State Con
vention in January. Each
County will be represented
by ten participants which
will be selected at the County
Conventions.
It was announced that the

need motivation as well.
Which brings us to the
importance of nutrition
education.
The need is enormous. The
public, I think, is aware of
this—thus the tremendous
sale of every kind of diet
book, whether the author is a
faddist or really knows his
stuff. And reams of articles
appear each month in the
popular magazines. Also,
improved nutritional
labeling on our food products
is in the offing.
Varied, Balanced Meals
You are achieving good
nutrition when you eat
varied, balanced meals that
give you the nutrients you
need and, in domg this, you
take in only the calories you
need to perform each day’s
activities. Thus you need to
know what nutrients you
need, which foods offer these
ingredients, and what your
total energy requirements
are. When you know that,
you know nutrition pretty
well.
There are poor people and
elderly people with special
problems who are
malnourished in this
country. But a lot of other
people are either underfed,
or overfed, through simple
ignorance or lack of suf
ficient motivation.
