Show February 24, 1989 DIXIE SUN Page 8 The Last Word What Youre Eating Could Kill You Trade Mecham Staff Writer I love report on nutrition and health from the Surgeon General we are warned, "Your choice of diet can sugar cereal, potato chips, pop, chocolate, and pop-tart- health influence your long-terprospects more than any other action you might take." The report also included information just about anything else not nutritionally imaginable, but most of all I love icing. You may think this is strange, maybe even a little sadistic, but it's true. One of the most refreshing antidotes in the whole world is a great big bowl of chocolate fudge icing. My roommates find it repulsive each time I open the refrigerator door with a large spoon in my hand to dig into that delicious lump of a dreamy sensation. By now you may have concluded that not only am I in danger of being responsible for a new drug habit, icing inhalation, but I'm also in danger of an early death. Nutrition is one of the most ignored topics among college students. It's bad enough that we have to cook our own meals, let alone have the strength, time, or knowledge to make anything humanly edible. Yet, itB time you were aware that what you eat can such as fish, skinned poultry, fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products will help you survive and be healthy. Cut down on lethal food habits, such as icing inhalation, even though this withdrawal will be painful. concluding that diet helped account for more than two-thir- of the 2.1 million deaths in the U.9. last year. Now, if you have a weak stomach, prepare yourself for what is to follow: The recently released statistics put out by the food and drug administration show the sickening diet of the average American. Each year the average American consumes 23 dozen eggs, 129 pounds of white sugar, 220 pounds of red meat, 125 gallons of soft drinks, 23 gallons of ice cream, 56 pounds of cakes and cookies, 55 pounds of fats and oils, 18 pounds of potato chips, 8 pounds of popcorn, 5 pounds of pretzels, 247 candy bars, 35 gallons of beer, and 35 GROSS!! For pounds of the sake of my posterity, I certainly hope thct I am not the average American. Good nutrition is important. Instead of grabbing a bag of potato chips, bite into an apple or make a nice chef salad. Foods ICL continued from page 5 TravelStudy tour to Central America.
