EAT ALONE, EAT WELL
Individuals who live alone can
be divided, by diet, into two dis
tinct groups. At one extreme are
those who plan, shop and prepare
meals with the same vigor as if
they were cooking for a family of
four. At the other extreme are
those whose refrigerators may
contain nothing more than a jar of
mustard, a loaf of tired bread, a
stick of margarine and a six-pack
of diet soda.
If you, or someone you care
about, fits into the latter category,
it’s time to consider a change.
When eating alone, we fre
quently do not bother fixing a
nutritious, balanced meal. Instead
we grab whatever’s quick and
handy: leftovers, snacks or over
processed convenience foods.
Sometimes the meal consists of
only one kind of food rather than
an appetizing mix. Fruits and veg
etables get forgotten in the rush.
This type of dining can affect
not only the composition of the
meal but the whole experience as
well. Such a repast might be eaten
standing over the sink, in front of
the television, while reading or on
the run. Food is consumed either
rapidly, absenpnindedly, pr bpth.

which each bite is savored. And
thanks to the microwave, you can
place processed food in the oven,
wait for the bell, eat it and, presto,
you’re done, practically before
you can say “Bon Appetit.”
Nearly everyone eats this way
on occasion. But when the catch
as-catch-can style becomes a reg
ular habit, you may need to work
on improving your nutritional
profile.
Planning is the key. When you
go to the supermarket, use a basic
checklist. Included should be
leafy greens and yellow veget
ables, citrus fruits, low-fat dairy
products, meats, fish, eggs, poul
try, dried beans and peas, as well
as whole-grain or enriched breads
and cereals and rice and grain pro
ducts such as pastas. Make your
selections with these important
categories in mind.
Plan to use highly perishable
fruits and vegetables early in the
week. Later in the week, you can
depend on frozen vegetables. Buy
these in pourable bags, which are
easier to re-close than boxes.
Plan ahead in cooking, too.
Think in broader terms than just
meal by meal. If you bought larger
amounts of ingredients (an eco
nomical way to shop), you can

cook extra servings and store them
for future use. Pasta sauces or
soups can be kept in the freezer in
microwave containers for defrost
ing later on. Along with pasta,
salad and a piece of fresh fruit,
they make a delicious, nutritious
meal. Or cook a sizable pot of beef
stew, which will serve you in good
stead for two or three days. Any
extra will last several months in
the freezer.
Some people And it convenient
to do this type of larger-scale
cooking on the weekend. If you
are having a guest for a meal, you
can also cook extra servings at that
time and store them for later use.
An added advantage to relying on
your freezer in this way; If you
decide to go out for dinner on the
spur of the moment, your food
will keep just fine. Or, if you
invite a friend home you will have
plenty to share.
The main message is that while
spontaneity in many matters adds
zest to life, a little foresight in the
supermarket and advance work in
the kitchen allows you to shop
more economically and eat more
nutritiously. It also gives your solo
meal a touch of class. After all,
who deserves it more than you?

Increased Sales
In the second hald of 1992, the
National Dairy Board aired choco
late milk advertising in the top 100
markets, targeting households
with kids and teens ages 6-17.
Sixty-eight markets saw heavy
advertising, 32 markets saw mod
erate advertising and the remain
der received little to no chocolate
milk advertising.
During the promotion, choco
late milk sales climbed 17.4 per
cent in the 68 markets where
heavy advertising aired, 4.5 per
cent in the 32 markets receiving
moderate advertising, and 1.1 per
cent in areas where little to no
advertising was run.
However, since ready-to-serve
chocolate milk accounts for only 4
percent of total fluid sales, the
Board also measured sales of
white milk and chocolate addi
tives (syrups and powder). Total
milk sales in the markets where
the promotion tan were up 0.9 per
cent while markets receiving mod
erate or no advertising saw vol
ume declines of 7 to 14 percent. In
addition, sales of chocolate addi
tives increased 5 to 8 percent,
indicating additional success of
the promotion.
The Board aired a 30-second
TV commercial and offered a
60-second radio commercial and
in-store promotion materials to
state and regional promotion
groups, chocolate milk processors
and retail stores.
"To avoid ’cannabilizing’ white
milk sales which tend to dominate
during mealtime, the Board posi-
m.
tioned chocolate milk as a satisfy
ing snack,” said Bill Underwood,
New Yoric dairy farmer and chair
of the Board’s advertising and
sales promotion commettee. “Our
chocolate milk promotion seemed
to stem declines in milk consump
tion, so we are developing a simi
lar campaign for next fall.”
Last fall, the National Dairy
Board joined UDIA in their fall
cheese promotion, "Cheese Snack
Facts.” Data from retail stores and
in-home research panels show that
the promotion, which ran for eight
weeks from mid-September
through mid-November, sold
more cheese.
In grocery stares with electron
ic scanners, cheese sales increased
2.6 percent during the promotion
over sales for the same period last
year. That increase represents 6.1
million pounds of cheese.
In a study that looked at in
home consumption based n a
three-year trend, sales increase
12.3 million pounds or 4.S percent
over expected volume during the
promotion period.
“We (National Dairy Board
members) were pleased with those
increases in cheese sales.” Under
wood said. “So the Boaid has
decided to join UDIA for another
fall cheese promotion with details
to be developed.” j
