Bi2-Uncaster Firming, Saturday, February 4, 1995 Nationwide Study Reveals What CHICAGO, 111. —The Great Pyramids of Egypt aren’t the only pyramids in need of a little main tenance. New data show that most Americans don’t follow the gov ernment’s Food Guide Pyramid, but eat a diet that resembles a Pyramid ready to topple—struc turally unsound and top-heavy from too few fruits and vegetables and too many fats, oils and sweets. The exception is the Meat Group, which is the only one eaten in recommended amounts. “Con sidering that the meat industry is perceived as being the nutritional problem, this result gives us a pos itive consumer message,” says National Live Stock and Meat Board Chairman Jim Hauge, a producer from Leith, North Dako ta. “And, this study tells me that the checkoff investments to edu cate consumers and thought lead ers about trimming excess fat, choosing lean cuts and eating appropriate servings of meat have worked.” The Meat Board Eating in America Today 11 (EAT II) dietary intake and attitude survey, BUILT TO HANDLE STIHL TERRITORY. • Top Handle design • Built in ring rope • Excellent power/weight ratio • Side access chain tensioner • Lifetime ignition warranty • Easy to reach controls Available at these servicing dealers Bechtelsvllle PASSMORE SERVICE CENTER, INC. ttM Rout* 100 610-367-9084 Dallastown TRI-BORO CONCRETE, INC. 435 Locust St. 717-348 3«15 1-800-833-9018 East Earl GOODS LAWN & GARDEN CENTER Rout* n 717-354-4038 Ext. 34 Elizabethtown MESSICK FARM EQUIPMEN T, INC.

Sorting food fact from fiction. The study also shows that percep tion isn’t reality when it comes to eating. On average, most Ameri cans are not eating as well as they think they are. Adult women and men think that their diets closely reflect the USDA/Health and Human Ser vices Food Guide Pyramid recom mendations. Women think they eat more servings from the Veg etable, Fruit, Milk and Meat Groups than they actually do. Men overestimate their consumption of the Fruit, Milk and Meat Groups. Men and women underestimate how much they eat from the Fats, Oils and Sweets category and the Bread Group. “There is a big difference between what we think we eat and what we actually eat.

D.. vice president of the Nutri tional Marketing division for MRCA Information Services, Inc., who conducted the study for the Meat Board. “For example, people recognize that 30 percent of calo ries from fat is the benchmark, they just don’t know how to apply it." EAT II uniquely matches atti tudes and behavior to gain a com plete picture of the American con sumer. Good news, bad news. Half of American consumers recognize 30 percent as the recommended per centage for calories from fat. However, most are unclear if this applies to a diet or a food, accord ing to EAT II (this rule is meant to apply to the total diet). Only 9 per cent properly knew that this state ment was false: “No more than 30 percent of calories in a food should come from fat.” These dietary misunderstandings have a negative impact on the meat industry BEAMSTOWN EAGLE RENTAL CENTER Rt. 272 Rsamstown Traffic Light 717-338-3945 A & B SALES & SERVICE 370 Newport Road 2 Mil** Vuulll u (HI. 13 Along 772 Thru Monteny MARTIN & EQUIPMENT CO.

The Meat Group (meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts) contributes 26 grams of fat—only 39 percent of total fat intake. Other fat sources include the Bread Group with 13 grams, the Milk Group with 11 grams, and Fats, Oils and Sweets with 11 grams, according to the EAT II report. The Veg etable Group contributes about 6 grams of fat, primarily added dur ing preparation. Meal marketing affected. “The meat industry is in a great marketing position,” said Eric Hentges, Ph.D., Meat Board direc tor of nutrition research. EAT II has great implications for national nutrition education strategies. The current strategy of food elimina tion and risk avoidance is not working We think a better strategy is optimizing our diets by balanc ing the Pyramid.

The Meat Board is taking EAT II aggressively into the healthcare professional’s realm through strategically selected briefings and presentations. In the short term, an extensive national consumer media campaign has been launched, and includes a New York City event for America’s premier health, science and nutri tion reporters. The study has already earned positive coverage in the Chicago Tribune and from other newspapers that receive its wire service. Television stations have also aired positive stories.
