Tips When
SOUTHAMPTON (Delaware
Co.) — Eating out is no excuse to
sacrifice good eating habits! Rec
ognizing the fact that Americans
may eat as many as one out of
every three meals away from
home, may restaurants are offer
ing their customers more “health
ful” options. These options range
from special menu items prepared
according to the American Heart
Association’s “Eating Away From
Home” guidelines, to offering salt
and sugar substitutes, decaffei j
nated beverages and reduced
calorie dressings.' Nutritionists at
Dairy Council offer the following
guidelines to help you make nutri
tionally wise selections:
• Avoid high calorie first
courses. Good choices might
include fresh fruit with yogurt
dressing, vegetables, seafood with
cocktail sauce or clear soup.
• Request low-calorie dressing
for the salad and/or ask for the
dressing on the side so you can
control the amount.
• Select lean meat, poultry or
fish as an entree. Pasta also can be
a good choice.
• Don’t forget that you order
milk or juice as your beverage • to
enhance the nutritional value of

dairy goats are the ideal animal for
a small farm. She said they have

your meal - instead of a soft drink,
coffee or cocktail.
• Practice portion control. You
do not have to clean your plate.
Restaurants typically serve larger
portions than you would serve at
home.
• Let dinner guide dessert
choices. If you’ve already
indulged, consider fruit, ice milk,
frozen yogurt or angel food cake.
• When you know you will be
eating out, don’t skip breakfast or
lunch. Instead, eat fewer calories
at both meals or get some extra
exercise (or both) to accommodate
the extra calories you’re apt to
consume in the evening.
• If you are eating at a fast food
restaurant, “fortify” your meal
with nutrient-dense milk or fruit
juice instead of a soft drink.
• Be smart about salad bars.
Salad greens, raw vegetables and
sprouts are low calorie choices.
Kidney beans are higher in calo
ries, but good sources of protein as
are cottage cheese and hard
cooked eggs. Macaroni salad,
potato salad, marinated vegetables
and coleslaw are higher in fat and
calories. Use dressing sparingly or
opt for fresh lemon juice.

maintaining a very healthy herd.
People often asked why goats
are at the Farm Show for only one
day. Yankovich explained, “The
primary reason is that the complex
has limited space, but it is likely
that few breeders would exhibit if
they were required to stay for the
whole week. Unlike cattle, goats
are seasonal breeders and the vast
majority are pregnant in January.
The added stress of having them
stay inside in the winter would be
asking too much. It is difficult
enough to keep them from over
heating at the one day show.”
Jasper Hollow Farm show their
goats at sue or seven one-day goat
shows each year, but the Farm
Show remains its favorite.
The Jasper Hollow herd has
exhibited the Nubian dairy goat
grand champion, reserve champ
ion and best herd for the past three
years at the Pennsylvania Farm
Show.
This year their doe Haiku won
the best doe in the show award in
the final competition between the
grand champions in six different
breeds.
Although Haiku is only two
years old, she became a permanent
champion by winning three grand
championships at three different
shows. Jasper Hollow Farm plans
