Duckling Creates Holiday Spirit PTO Sponsors Bazaar PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALEK - WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 3.1980 Happy holiday time can happen any time of the year! Roast duckling with fruited rice stuffing is easy to prepare and elegant to serve for two couples. Golden peach halves or slices accompany the duck ling, which is prepared whole and then can be halved or quartered for serving. A highly nutritious food, duckling is low in saturated fatty acids and is a source of complete protein. It is high in linoleic acid, which is an unsaturated fatty acid that helps in normal growth. Duckling supplies one-third to one-half of the U.S. re commended daily allowance of niacin, and it also supplies some iron. Roast Duckling With fruited Rice Stuffily 1 frozen duckling, defrosted 1/2 teaspoon salt Fruited Rice Stuffing (recipe follows) Wash, drain and dry skin with paper toweling.

It was pretty obvious after only two weeks that the diet of sugar foods did not propel our furry little friend to greater health. Now, you can't do this demonstration because of cruelty to animals. How ironic that rats can't be ill- fed but children can. At a recent hearing on junk food fermentable carbohydrate is in schools held by the Illinois eaten, it is converted by the beverages, and another 20 percent were salted products such as chips, pretzels and popcorn. "Studies have shown that the form and frequency of consumption of ' car bohydrates is far more important than is the total amount consumed. In this regard, sugars may be retained longer in the oral cavity and may be more likely to produce cavities when combined with food components that increase their retention -i.e., making tfyem stickier. "In addition, each time a State Council on Nutrition, Dr. Jane Selbe of Glenview, 111. stated as follows: "Dental disease is, as you know, rampant in the United States. It is a disease more common than the "Common Cold". Of the various manifestations of dental disease, tooth decay is by far the most common. It is also one of the most preventable. "One of the more effective methods for reducing dental caries is through modification of the food eaten - for one, eating a balanced diet, or to put it more sharply in the negative, avoiding sugar- rich and refined foods, especially as snacks bet ween meals. "Eating has been described as a non-stop activity for many children in today's society. A recent study in Michigan showed that they snack almost half the available time during the day. But what was more revealing - over one-third of all snacks were sweetened, baked products, about one fourth were sweetened bacteria in the plaque to acid which lasts approximately 30 minutes. Thus, when a specifried amount of car bohydrate is consumed at m u l t i p l e i n t e r v a l s throughout the day, the contact time of the acids on the tooth would be much greater than if the same total amount were consumed at only one or two meals." 7 No one advocates eliminating all snacks. There are snacks that are nature's candies such as fresh fruits, nuts, vfnd natural fruit juices that are good snacks. Obesity in children is becoming more and more common, and snacking on high-sugared foods contributes to this problem. As parents we can en courage our children to eat more healthful foods or at least to cut down on the ones that are highly sugared. It is not only our duty and responsibility but as loving parents, I would think, we would want our children not to suffer tooth decay and the stings of teasing because of being over-weight. Did my students learn anything from this ex periment? After three weeks of a highly sugared diet, poor Raphael, the rat, was such the worse for wear that the students couldn't stand it any longer and gave him fruit, bread, protein foods and some fresh vegetables. I overheard one student say, "Boy, Raph, you and me, we need to drink more milk." The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies. •Thomas Jefferson.
