Helping Paws PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAV. SFPTEMBFR lp, 1976 Keepin' Healthy by Mary Richards Anyone who shops for food has probably noticed that, in the recent past, there have been significant changes in the labels on food products. While these changes do not involve eye-catching techniques such as new packaging, new designs or new colors, they do involve something far more important to you, to me and to our families...information about the foods inside the packages. Admittedly, it may be dif­ ficult to see much drama or excitement in a small-print label of a peanut butter jar or on the wrapper of a frozen pie. This little squib could, however, answer many of your questions about foods, and open up a new era of better health for you and your family through more knowledgeable choices. How can "nutrition in­ formation" on a food label accomplish all this? If you use the information to your own advantage, the new labeling will make it much easier for you to identify and select nutritious foods. The new labeling is valuable to those who are following specific dietary orders from their doctors because of illness, weight problems, pregnancy, allergies, etc. "Nutrition in­ formation" on food labels also helps shoppers who are plan­ ning meals for growing children or for the elderly by malting it easier to select foods which contain the vitamins and minerals essential to the special needs of these age groups. And, of course, the new labeling is useful to those of us who are simply interested in good nutrition on a day-to-day basis. Much of the new information now appearing on food labels results from a program of the federal Food and Drug Ad­ ministration (FDA). The Illinois Department of Public Health (which administers the FDA program in Illinois) tells us that, when a food label contains nutrition information, it must provide all of the following: serving size; number of servings per con­ tainer ; caloric content; protein content; carbohydrate content; fat content; and the percentage of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances (U.S. RDA's) of protein, certain vitamins and minerals...all on a per serving basis. Thus if you check the "nutrition in­ formation" on a food label, you can determine, from the listing of calories, protein, fat, etc., which foods are high in protein, low in salt (sodium) high in calories, or low in fat. Also, by checking the listing of the percentage of U S RDA's, you can easily determine which foods will give your family the vitamins and minerals they require. Nutrition information, however, is not the only benefit of the new labeling regulations...they also help to minimize false or misleading nutrition-related claims by food * advertisers. Under the regulations, if a nutritional claim is made for a particular food, either on the labeling or in an advertisement, the label must then contain all of the requried nutrition labeling. The new labeling regulations provide all food shoppers with a valuable tool. It is up to us, now, to use it to help improve the health of our families.

If you have lived one day you have seen every­ thing; one day is the same as all the others. -Michel de Montaigne. POET'S CORNER WHERE IS THE LITTLE GIRL.... Where is the little girl from long ago? Where is the little girl I used to know? Where is the laughter, the fun and all the happy hours? Where is the little girl with a smiling face and her arms filled with beautiful flowers? Where is the child from yesterday? Why must this happy time go so fast away? The years one lives as a happy child... seem like just one bright summer's day but, with every hour counted by the sun One comes closer to the end of all the games, joy and fun, ...and evening begins to fall One can hear the lonely nightingale call, The years of childhood days are gone... just in one's memory, they still linger on... ...and when darkness falls over the land One has suddenly time to listen to footsteps coming slowly up the street... the quiet voice and the tired eyes and now one knows - a new season in one's life has arrived. ...and at the end of the night, but before a new day can begin... One has reached the end of the road, another life, filled with dreams, hopes and memories is being carried away with the wind... So, where did the little girl go from yesterday? She lived a lifetime in one summer's day I will carry her memory wherever I go... for, I am the little girl, I used to know.... by Maria Heiser "to gWPot/ SIZES: INFANT THRU 14 (GIRLS) INFANT THRU 12 (BOYS) • MONTINI UNIFORM ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE The Candy Man Closet Is Here!
