He understood the im portance of a balanced diet and encouraged good eating habits with those he counseled. He wanted to get nutrition information to all the offenders, especially those with a drug or alcohol problem.” Vanilla is the favorite U.S. ice cream and ice milk flavor, accounting for almost half of these products sold.

She asked the officers to complete a 24- 1 hour food recall writing down everything they ate within a 24- hour period and to get recalls from some of the youth. “The kids’ diets were very poor,” she says. “We realized the kids made a lot of their food choices themselves, but some were locked into bad habits started by their parents.” Food recalls on the youth Vevealed diets high in sugar and large quantities of protein and bread with no milk or vegetables. The youth came from different backgrounds and economic groups throughout Lancaster County, ranged in age from 13 to 18 and had a variety of social problems. Many were on probation for the first time, some were repeat offenders, some were alcoholics and some had been using drugs.
