Pep, Energy Supplied At Noon Dinner Dinner served at noon should supply the pep and energy needed for the second half of the day and should be no haphazard meal. The homemaker who makes sure that it is nourishing as well as satis- fying, and that it supplies a fair pro- portion of the daily 'musts', is doing her part towards keeping her family on théir job, whatever the job may be. She will find the new "Meal Planning for Health" chart, prepared by the Nu- trition Division, Ottawa, and obtain- able from the Provincial Department of Health, a helpful reference in plan- ning meals. In this chart the foods which are needed for health are ar- ranged in five major food groups, with plenty of variety in each group. A quick check-up on the day's break- fast and supper menus is a good plan, to make sure that there will be no ommissions of goods which are needed for health. For instance, what about the serving of orange or tomato? It should be included in one of the day's meals and dinner might be just the place for it. The main course allows plenty of leeway, whether it is meat or meat alternate. The daily serving of potatoes fits in here ... in their jackets for greater food value, and the other two servings of vegetables, un- less one is to be served for the even- ing meal. Leafy green and yellow vegetables are valuable because of their contribution of vitamins A and C to the diet and should be included often. The dessert gives the homemaker a good chance to include foods which might otherwise be slighted ... the second serving of fruit, for instance. Bread, whole wheat or Canada Ap- proved, will fill in any corners and complete a "refuelling" job which will stand the family in good stead as they tackle the second half of the day's work.
