EATING ON THE ROAD
Summertime finds many people
on the road traveling by car,
motorhome or bicycle on trips that
range from an afternoon to a cou
ple of months. Traveling is a way
of life for some people and well
deserved vacation for others.
Where and what to eat are
repeated questions on such trips.
Time, money, nutrition and eating
enjoyment are factors that find
their way into the answers.
If you are traveling with hungry
children, the safest alternative is to
take your own food. There is
nothing more distresssing than to
be 100 miles from nowhere with a
wailing, hungry child on your
hands.
But improperly stored food
could result in an unwanted vaca
uon souvenir—foodbomc illness.
Packing and storing food with
food safety in mind can prevent
this vacation disaster, and is not
that difficult. Just remember the
Five Rules of Traveling with
Food.
1. Plan Ahead. A well-stocked
cooler is a must. Have plenty of
ice or frozen gel-packs on hand
before you start packing.
What to take? Some foods do
not require refrigeration-peanut
butter and jelly and some cheeses,
for example. Perishable foods,
like meat, poultry, eggs and fish
do, so if you arc taking summer
salads, making sandwiches on the
road or brining food to cook over
the course of your vacation, plan

to keep them on ice in your cooler
throughout the trip.
2. Pack Safely. Pack perish
ables directly from the refrigerator
to the cooler, You can take frozen
food directly from the freezer to
the cooler. It will thaw during the
trip, extending its safety and shelf
life.
A full cooler will maintain its
cold temperature longer than one
that is only partially filled. Pack
remaining space with more ice or
fruit and non-perishable foods.
Securely overwrap or bag foods
that may drip or leak, particularly
raw meat, poultry or fish.
Put the cooler in the passenger
section of the car instead of in the
hot trunk.
3. Preserve the cold tempera
ture of the food by replenishing
the ice as soon as it starts melting.
4. Pitch any foods that warm
above refrigerator temperature (40
degrees F.). Food poisoning bac
teria grow rapidly at warm temp
eratures. At die end of the day, if
the ice has melted and the food
feels warm, discard any perishable
foods.
5. Protect your family from
disease-causing bacteria by keep
ing hands and utensils clean. If
soap' and water will not be avail
able, pack some moist towelettes.
Bag and set aside dishes and uten
sils to wash with hot soapy water
when you reach your destination.
Offering a small snack every
hour or two will prevent boredom
during long car trips. Offer a

Dear Golden Pnde/Rawleigh
In September of 1985,1 had back surgery to correct a lower back problem from
an injury that happened in 1970 Six months after the operation, I woke up one
morning with extreme lower back pain I went to the doctor and was sent to a spe
cialist who told me I had rheumatiod arthritis and it would gradually get worse In
September of 1990,1 started taking Combination 23 I took six in the morning and
six at night for five days, then cut back to four in the morning and four at night
After five days, the pain was gone Now I take three in the morning and three in
the evening, and I am still getting great results
Dear Golden Pride/Rawleigh-
On June 25 at Shipshewana Flea Market we met Ben and he explained Gol
den Pnde/Rawleigh to us. He told us to try Formulas 01, *2 and Combination 023
for arthritis. We decided to give it a try since I had allergic reactions to all the
medicines doctors gave me and they would no longer prescribe any more medi
cine. We are very pleased now as I can walk a mile or more without the cane or
crutches when before I '•ould only go a short distance. I would advise anyone with
arthritis to give it a try. It has done a lot of good for me
