B26*Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 5, 1993 Heard. Poor diet can contribute to childhood obesity which is a prob lem of growing concern among America’s children. Health and nutrition authorities stress that parents must help their children form good eating habits, begin ning with the toddler. Parents are advised to plan set times for meals and snacks. They choose what is offered to eat and when, and the child decides how much or whether to eat. Key to this strategy, according to Ellyn Satter, author of How to Get Your Kid to Eat... But Not Too Much, is that a child must understand there are no substitutions if he or she decides not to eat what is offered. Providing alternative choices removes the child’s incen tive to try a variety of foods when they are offered. Just as important, Satter writes, is the manner in which food is served to children. Parents must not beg, barter, play games or force children to eat. These prac tices only convey that the parent believes the food is undesirable but should be eaten for other rea sons. Dessert should never be offered as a reward for cleaning one’s plate nor should children be punished for not eating. R NUUC.IT DOES A BODY GOOD. MIDDLE ATLANTIC MILK MARKETING ASSOCIATION, INC.

Research has shown that when children are offered a variety of nutritious foods, a child while they may go on food jags, will automatically eat a balanced nutritious diet over a period of five to six days. They are not going to starve if they insist on not eating at one meal. Parents of finicky eaters should look at their own eating practices and ask themselves if they are set ting a bad example. They should also offer small portions of new foods periodically with no pres sure on the child to try them. Most children will try the food eventu ally, though it may take as many as IS attempts. Offering food without gimmicks or pressure makes the new food a more likely part of the child’s permanent diet. Research has demonstrated that the best time to influence the diet of school age youngsters is at home, through regular meals and snacks. Remember, even over weight children should not be banned from occasional snacks of high-calorie treats. Forbidden fruit is always more desirable and most youngsters will find a way to sneak the snack behind their parents’ backs. It’s all made possible through the technology of the patented ROTO-MIX 8 Mixing System. The ROTOR lifts the feed past the wedging point of the lower side auger, giving you a fluffier ration while lowering power requirements. Total feed movement in the mixing chamber eliminates dead spots common in conventional auger mixers. (316) 225-1142 2205 E. Wyatt Earp Dodge City, Kansas 67801 COLUMBUS.
