Call Mrs. Gardner or the Regent, Mrs. Bassett. Publish Guidelines No health-related issue has sparked quite as much controversy in Washington lately as proposed dietary guidelines. And there are some good reasons for the controversy, says R.J. Reber, nutrition specialist with the University of Illinois Cooperative Ex­ tension Service. In the first place, nutrition is controversial in itself, Reber says. It is a relatively new science and there is much yet to be learned. Also, food is big business. Billions are invested in the farm-to- table food system in this country. And any talk of changing food consumption patterns makes food providers nervous for good reason. ' "Any pork producer who has invested hundreds of thousands in a farrowing operation has a right to question dietary guidelines issued from Washington," Reber says. "And all of us question big brother's wisdom. Food is very per­ sonal. Is nothing sacred anymore?" Despite the pitfalls, USDA and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare have jointly published a 19-page booklet called "Nutrition and Your Health - Dietary Guidelines for Americans." Seven guidelines are spelled out in bold print on the cover. They are: 1) Eat a variety of foods. 2) Maintain ideal weight. 3) A v o i d t o o m u c h f a t , saturated fat and cholesterol. 4) Eat foods with adequate starch and fiber. 5) Avoid too much sugar. 6) Avoid too much sodium. 7) If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. How well consumers will accept the guidelines remains to be seen. "For the consumer who is looking for very specific guidelines to help him or her • * • * Newspapers are rarely thanked for public serv­ ices, but every mistake is heard from In the quest for suc­ cess, just remember that there is no substitute for character or service. decide to the pinch how much salt, sugar or cholesterol is just right, the guidelines may be disap­ pointing," Reber says. "But the guidelines acknowledge reality. It is' impossible to say exactly how much of any dietary component is too much for an entire population." The "how-much-is-too- much- question is a highly individual matter that depends upon a myriad of factors such as existing disease conditions, inherited traits, age, physical activity and general body condition. There are no easy, pat an­ swers to questions about diet and health. "the key concepts upon which the seven guidelines have been formulated are m o r e i m p o r t a n t f o r Americans to internalize than the individual guidelines themselves," Reber says. The concepts are: variety is the spice of diet as well as life; eat all foods in moderation; and diet is only one of multiple factors in­ volved in health. "But these concepts are foreign to the lifestyles of many - lifestyles that are characterized by over­ indulgence, waste and 'if it feels good, do it' attitude," the nutrition specialist continues. "Obviously, some will not accept these guidelines and that's their privilege. But are they willing to accept total responsibility for the possible consequences in terms of health-care costs?" However foreign these concepts may be, they provide the basis for good nutritional health, Reber says. Wise consumers will i n t e r n a l i z e v a r i e t y , moderation and a multiplicity of health factors for maximum benefit. In the final analysis, sound eating habits will be established when comments such as the following are heard over the family table: "no thanks, I've already had a piece," "hold up on the salt shaker, you really don't need it," or "this bran cereal isn't half bad once you get used to it." "Let's face it, Reber says, "these mealtime comments have as much social value as comments about what the neighbor did today or the weather forecast. And they may lend positive rein- FRAYS HIDDK.N CI R l I J I J N ( . f f H N M M.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Supermarket Saver By Donna Caubarreaux Getting Cash For Your Trash Requires Organization The deadline is approaching and there you are, hunting for a label to take advantage of a refund offer. In order to get the maximum benefits from refunding you need to get yourself organized. The first step is to find a corner where you can keep all of your refunding materials together. Refunders have been known to take over a section in front of the television set, set up boxes under the bed and use when needed or commandeer the garage or basement. Then get all the paraphernalia needed to refund together: envelopes, stamps, pens, scissors (to cut out qualifiers) and most of all the qualifiers. Putting qualifiers in an order where you can find than when needed will increase your time and efficiency. For instance, file all can lables together, separate by company (such as Campbell's, Libby's, etc.). Put all cereal bene tops and boxbottoms together (along with a proof-of-purchase panel from side of boxes). Small proof-of-purchase seals (such as those found on Nabisco boxes) are easy to find in a stamp altwim or individual envelopes. Large boxes should be peeled to reduce space, place the box in a plastic bag, sprinkle a small amount of water, tie up, wait for the box to absorb the moisture and thai peel the excess paper from the box, dry, then file for future use. There are many different systems in use to save and locate qualifiers forthe fabulous refunds available but the best one is the one that works for you!
