DAI LV GRANDER THAN EVER THE WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?E BREADISBESTOF I FOODS CONSUMED ! BY HUMAN BEINGS B> CALEB JOHNSON That "bread is the staff of life.* is an old saying familiar to every body. 11 was a wise man, whose name 5 ; have been unable to find, who added, "but. bread and butter is a golds headed cane.For the experiments in diet conducted by the United States Pntblit Health Service, while they indicate that the nearest approach to a perfect food is whole wheat bread, fully bear out the truth which is set forth ii: the Bible, in both the Ola Testament and the Now, that "man can nt?t live by bread alone." There is no single perfect food, though there are so-called "dietitians" and food exports "who claioi I that all bodily needs oar. be satisfied hy a single substance. If that were so, and we could find that substance, what a care-free world this would be No more worry about choosing our meals, only one thing to grow lq feed everybody?it would be marvelous. But that isn't the way Nature works' the men. at Washington say whose business it is to keep their finger orJ Urn Nation's pulseThere arc only a few substances which contain the proportions of prorein and ihe fuel foods necessary for 1 man needs. If. for instance, you eat enough beef t?> satisfy the protein needs ' the- body and eat nothing else, you will have an insufficient supply or fuel. If you eat enough beef to sopply the fuel needs of the body you j-wTTl take in too much protein. Or. > other hand, if you try to live or) fruit you will have to eat about the equivalent of *>5 pounds of apples to supply the necessary protein whereas pounds would supply sufficient ? r.orjry hiit theie would be a shortage of protein. Balled potatoes, onions. cVivn, almonds and bread approach a balanced diet, but even these fall tail short Potatoes and corn a lobe would have to be consumed in large qunnto meet tin- needs. Taken by itself. 'good bread, made l -of whole grain, cot pes the neat -stj noroaps. of all feed articles to furiiLsh'}viz a balanced food diet of sat i- factory bulk. With bread ;s \hclu lod a variety of flour preparafrat'a such as macaroni*! biscuits. Viem-.a rolls, and crockers. but to try to liv : on these alone would be manifestly absurd. It' >ve cannot live on bread iuoro . certainly >v,e shall not be able to find any other substance that will m? t the dietary requirements of the day. It is necessary to combine high pro? rein foods with - inw 'prototn foods- at such proportions as will furnish bulkj the nropei nutritive ratio, and will, at Ihc same time, suit the taste. Protein f ods are, as you know, most of animal origin and foods low in protein value are mostly of vege'.a TiTu 'irrl^Ijny -A- ba^atrced ratio; atdneLcd to meet all three requirements, bulk, protein ration, and taste, is likely, therefroe, to contain materials of both animal and vegetable origin. At any rate it is only by means of a , mixed diet that we are able to mainItain a satisfactory ration. For infants milk is, of course, a complete food, esneoinllv mntKpr'c mill-?Imf as the child develops this even does not sufficeA large pan of the malnutrition in children is due to the lack of a balanced didt. People are unacquainted with the importance of a balanced diet often purchase food entirely on the basis of appetite or the temptations of market. Also there are those who are SO: poor as to he unable to buy anything but the cheapest articles to he obtained, and | such persons often suffer from malir.; ii ition. Tn the case school children the indulgence of the appetite in an excessive amount tvf sweets and the rcraoequent throwing of the d;-et out of balance has. been found to be one of ihe most frcqueiH. causes of malnutrition. The resort to cheap foods may lead to mahuitritioYi through an excessive a m o u n t of starches. Starchy foods arc usually the cheapfeu ds that can be purchased, and while good foods, should not he used to excess. There, are two serious objections to the excessive use of meat. The first objection is concerned with the chemical -ide. There are substances produced in the digestion of meat whifgEmaVr prove to be _ injurious to the cells of the body, particularly if too much is eaten Some individual; are able to throw oft these substances more easily and as a result do not suffer. Other people, however, accumulate these products in the body until they re.-ult in injury. With the excessive use of meat a person is likely to accumulate an excess of protein. This is a danger which Tnonifi r>r*t r?<* :K*? cause any excess of proteins, unless burned up by physical exercise, must be thrown off fiom the body by the action of the liver and kidneys because the body has no way of storing up a surplus uf proteins- Lf we take too much fat or carbohydrates we are usually able to convert some carbohydrates into fat. This is deposited in cells under the skin, and likewise should he gotten rid of by propel habits of exercise. Most of us of sedentary habit* could probably get along with much less meat than we use and most ol us would probably benefit by reduc mg the amount of meat in our %i? diet. Some people depend more upon meat than do others and in favor of meat it may be said that the proteins which are contained in meats are apparently more easily absorbed than are proteins contained in vegetables. There is an old superstition that has gained much general credence. You probably have heard it said that "every part feeds a part," that is, that certain foods should be eaten for the benefit of special parts of the body. Some people believe that beef should be eaten to develop the muscles, fat should be eaten to preserve the hair, fish should be eaten for brain food, and celery for nerve food- if you stop to consider trr the process of digsetion all carbohy VICKY THURSDAY-?BOOSE; N\ C. ^ . .. . & | Orates are changed to simple sugar J alt fats to simple soaps and glyce j hies. and all "proteins to simple niti' \ genotu; compounds you will see ho i ?v.:urti ?. eVuiiViu} v^li ! fi>r eirc kin-! of food in omnectif j wb h the building up'iftf any speci '{part r tisane: j All products of protein, fat ax carbohydrates after digestion &?$ ui tribute*! in great measure, withoi d is erimi n a t.To n by the blood, and tJ cells of the body draw their supp ; of nourishment from this gener store.
