Diet fads and fallacies Potatoes are nutritious Too often, today's family lives on a diet of edsy-to-prepare meals from boxes. When eaten, these foods are often quickly digested, • leaving the entire family hungry and craving high-sugar snacks to boost the blood sugar concentration. It is import to feed your family those ■ foods with "staying power," foods that will satisfy the entire family while helping them to be healthy and staying on an economical budget. There is no other food that fits this category better than the potato. A medium potato (5 ounce) supplies nearly 5% of both protein and iron, 8Vo phosphorus, 10% thiamine, 11% niacin, and 50% of vitamin C needed daily. It also supplies large amount of potassium, vitamin B6, copper and iodine. A medium potato has only 110 calories, which is much less than a 5 ounce steak (500 calories), or a 5 ounce serving of bread (390 calories). Additional calories and fats are often added when preparing and serving potatoes. In order to prevent nutrient loss, Diet Center suggests cooking potatoes with their skins on whenever possible. When serving, avoid butter, sour cream, gravies and sauces. Try the wholesome flavor of whipped cottage cheese with chives. Use this tasty way to serve baked potatotes without adding adding a lot of extra calories. Mushrooms Mushrooms cost less per pound the meetings for the budget discussions. discussions.

"Right to Farm" Is Now Law Farmers will now be protected under the Farm Practices Protection Protection Act from nuisance lawsuits over noise, odor or dust caused by normal farm practices. The act received royal assent on December 15,1988. It establishes the freedom farmers need to carry on a basic and essential work - food production. ' This traditional right to carry on proper and accepted farm practices is being challenged increasingly by rural residents who complain about neighbouring farming operations. The Farm Practices Protection Board', to be established under the act, will hear complaints by in- than most meats, with far fewer calories, while still supply the same texture as meats in many dishes. They have only approximately 127 calories per pound, and little or no cholesterol. They blend well with many different foods, such as rice, meats, beans and cheese. A simple way to judge portion is to figure that one pound of mushrooms yields 5 l /z cups sliced, or 5 cups chopped. When purchasing purchasing them, select'.firm, smooth mushrooms. Keep them refrigerated and handle, them carefully, as they are quite fragile. If the membrane that covers the cap is still infact, the mushrooms should keep about a week, if not, they should be used sooner. ■ Diet Center realizes that mushrooms can be very satisfying and versatile. They supply the body with vitamin D, niacin and trace minerals, such as calcium, iron and potassium. dividuals about odor, noise or dust from farm practices. If nuisance is shown to result from a normal farming practice, the board will dismiss the complaint. If the board finds that the practice is not proper, it may issue an order requiring requiring a farmer to cease or modify the practice. While this new act affords farmers some measures of protection protection from potential conflicts, the long-term solution is agricultural • land use planning policies to avoid new incompatible uses in agricultural areas. The right to farm is not a right to pollute. An underlying principle to this act is the requirement that farm practices continue to comply with other provincial legislation, specifically the Environmental Protection Protection Act, the Pesticides Act, the Public Health Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act. Protocols have been developed with the Ministry of the Environment Environment so that complaints unresolved by staff upon initial investigation may be referred by the coipplaint to the Farm Practices Protection Board. The board would then hold *a hearing to determine whether the challenged farm practice is normal. The act was introduced following a recommendatioramade by the Ontario Ontario Right To Farm Advisory Committee appointed by the minister in Feb. 1986, with the mandate mandate to determine appropriate policy options to ensure farmers have adequate protecâon from corqplaints against normal, farming practices. The committee held public hearings hearings across the province gathering some 280 presentations or briefs from farm and non-farm organizations, organizations, municipalities and individuals. individuals.
