Food guide released
HARRISBURG, Pa. -The
task of planning well
balanced meals has been
simplified in a new con
sumer health guide just
released by the Penn
sylvania Department of
Health.
State Health Secretary Dr.
Leonard Bachman said the
pamphlet, entitled, “A Daily
Food Guide,” discusses the
nutrition values of foods in
the four basic food groups:
vegetables and fruits, milk,
meats, and breads and
cereals. He said it also lists
recommended amounts that
should be. consumed from
each group on a daily basis
to supply all the nutrients the
body needs.
“Although most residents
have received at least some
education in basic nutrition,
many can’t cope with the
seemingly complicated task

' “Poor eating habits are at
the core of many health
problems we see today,”
Bachman said. “The
American diet is much too
high in sugars and fats,
mostly in form&'of foods that
add nothing -but empty
calories and contribute to
problems such as diabetes,
abesity and heart attacks. In
addition, many citizens
consume too much salt, a
factor in high blood
pressure,” he said.
“We must get back to
using more basic foods,
especially fresh fruits and
vegetables instead of highly
refined, processed foods and
foods ridden with fats and
sugars,” the Health
Secretary said.
