I would say that it is good, in that it indicates that we are a foodconscious group who realize the importance of good nutrition in our lives. Most food fads are not really harmful, but often by following these fads it leads to extreme tendencies, and we either give our bodies too much or too little of the nutrients we need. A good rule to follow is to provide some food each meal from the four Basic Food Grouns: Milk Group - Cheese, ice cream foods can and other milk-mad- e of the milk. supply part Meat Group - Meats, fish poultry, eggs, or cheese-wi-th dry beans, peas, nuts as alternates. Vegetables and Fruits - Include dark green or yellow vegetables; citrus fruit or tomatoes. Breads and Cereals - This group includes many items such as crackers, quick breads, rolls and buns, cooked and prepared cereals, macaroni. Enriched or whole grain and added milk improves the nutritional value of breads. Ruth Rothe, a Farm Bureau member from Payson, contributes this story. The View From Here by Ruth .Rothe friend Leah called from my My old home town to let me know that an old family friend had passed away. Tom was over eighty but it was still a shock that he had really died. Tom was a real health bug from way back. He had lived next door to us as children and we had loved and admired him all our lives. At first our love for him had been in a true childlike vein because he wouldnt eat candy and many times he received candy as gifts and such. At first he wouldnt even offer us any, but one day when he saw our mother hand out candy COPY SERVICE Copy Negatives 35' Pedigree Prints Strip of Eight 35' Prints Up to 4x5 08' 5x7 49' 8xl0 97' Hank's Photo Service P.O.

There were many programs that will be taken back to the Counties and will be enlarged on. Farm Bureau Women have a responsibility and a role to perform as equal partners in carrying out the total program. No one county can be expected to undertake all of the program areas and activities as they were presented. Counties should set goals and develop . 1972 programs adapted to their counties needs and interests. A film has been released from the American Farm Bureau, The Road to Delano, which tells the effects the grape boycott has had on the workers in the area. There scenes with local are workers speaking and telling of their experiences. It is very well put together, and should receive wide usage. One has been purchased by the State Farm Bureau. We hope you can use this with consumers to have a better understanding. For example: We can tell the importance of agricultural chemicals to the total economy and help maintain freedom of choice for consumers. City cousins will benefit as they understand more clearly, the job of food production, processing, & marketing.

More on Food Speaking to the 75th anniversary convention of the American National Cattlemens Association in Denver, Secretary Earl L. Butz said: I want to use this platform and this opportunity to remind the consumers of America of this countrys long history of farm prices. I want to remind them that even if consumer food prices are slightly higher in 1972 than last year, disposable personal income will rise much more substantially. This will reduce the percent of disposable income that people will spend for food to around 15 percent from the 16 percent in 1971. If consumers were spending the same percent of their e pay for food in this country as they did twenty years ago. would be spending in the range of $40 billion more for feed every they than year they do now.

He stopped eating anything that seemed in anyway to have a bit of extra calories. He had always enjoyed fish but with all of the talk about streams being contaminated he quit eating them too, and recently when he read that liver could be dangerous to eat because it could have spray residues or other impure things in it he vowed never to eat it again even though it had always been his favorite meat. Tom even began baking his own bread the last few years after his wife passed away so that he would KNOW that none of the new fangled chemicals and such would be added to it. He had always milked his own cow too so that he could feel that it was safe after he had pasteurized it. But it had been getting more difficult all the time to find food that he knew was free from sprays and such. Needless to say Tom hadnt really enjoyed eating the last few years and it is also probably unnecessary to tell you what he died of. The truth is he starved to death. He was like so many of us in life. We start on the right track on something but we dont let well enough alone, we carry it too far and end up worse off than when we started.
