Eat a Variety of Food
If a vote were taken among
nutrition educators, the most
common nutrition mesage would
probably be eat a variety of food.
However the word variety has
many different meanings among
consumers and professionals.
For some people, variety simply
means a little bit of everything.
For others, it implies eating foods
from each of the food groups. Yet,
for others, the phrase means
choosing a wider variety of food
within each of the food groups.
Many people consider variety to
also include differences in food
preparation and in the timing and
size of meals.
It is important to clarify just
what nutrition educators mean by
variety. Studies indicate that it is
sufficient to recommend that
people choose different foods from
among the five major food groups.
Nutrition will improve for most
people following this advice.
While eating a wider variety of
foods from within each group also
improves nutrition, research in
dicates that it is not more healthful
to eat or drink five different kinds
of milk and milk products than it is
to consume just one kind. The
same applies to each of the other
food groups grains, dairy
products, fruits and vegetables,
meat and meat alternates, and
fats, sweets and alcohol.
Researchers at the Penn State
University also found that in
creased variety in the diet benefits
some people more than others. Of
course, people with little variety in
their diets to begin with will benefit
most. But a varied diet appears to

benefit women more than men,
and adolescents and young to
middle-aged adults seem to benefit
more than other age groups.
Eating a variety of food, in other
words making sure you eat
something from each of the food
groups each day, can really make
a contribution to good nutrition. If
you fit into one of the high benefit
categories teens, young adults,
women, or anyone with a limited
diet you can benefit most from
paying attention to the tried and
true message; Eat a variety of
foods.
MILK: A low-fat beverage
Many people think that milk is
high in fat. However, it is actually
a lowfat beverage.
Whole or regular milk is more
than 96 percent fat-free. An eight
ounce glass of whole milk has 150
calories and about 30 milligrams of
cholesterol.
Most lowfat milk contains 2
percent milkfat, but you can find
1.5 and 1 percent milkfat products
in some markets. Two percent
milkfat provides 120 calories per
eight-ounce glass if it is not for
tified with milk solids. 1.5 and 1
percent milkfat milk provide only
slightly fewer calories.
An eight-ounce glass of milk
contains 90 calories and about five
milligrams of cholesterol.
Include milk in your diet to get
the calcium your body needs and to
prevent osteoporosis in later
years. It makes little difference in
what form you include milk. You
can get the equivalent of the
recommended two glasses a day
by eating cottage cheese, yogurt or
other dairy products.
Pee Wee classes will be offered. A
trophy and six ribbons are
awvded in each class.
Refreshments will be served on
the grounds with many homemade
baked items offered. Admission is
free to the public.
