' , Ms. ; - Moore A and Mrs.Fresh, a ' Gestalt therapist and social ; worker, jointly designed the survey instrument, interpreted and cor related . the data, and ; summarized the fin dings. The survey grew out of Ms. Moore's personal need "to identify others in the profession, and to bring to the public's at tention the fact that there is a significant number of black women in the field.- f "I felt like a total non person," she continues. "When they surveyed 'women,' we didn't know whether we were included or not." . The same thing is true for studies of minority ; .architects, Ms. Moore adds, "there .is no , visibility. We know very little about each other, and the only contacts we make are through in cidental meetings or the grapevine. There is no networking.' " The study identified some '225 black women in the field, 55 of whom responded to the survey. And Ms. Moore, who thought she knew what to" expect, found herself constantly surprised by . the results. ''The first thing that surprised me was the number of us. No one I had talked to had any idea that there were more than a handful of black women, c. ;in Vhe profession, 1 sheJ Ex plains. ' She also was surprised "; . w Christmas Gift by the geographic distribution of the population heaviest in Washington, D.C.; and the states of New York and California; but with almost an equal number distributed throughout thd South and by the number of "en trepreneurs', " women who owned their own businesses, or were working in such non traditional areas (for ar chitects) as real estate, economic development, and rrnctnirt!rn '"It ; Js extr.. significant."

'' The picture that emerges from Ms. Moore's study is that of a woman who was born in the South, is between the.ages. jof 26 .and .30 or Is.

If the terms protein, fortified, nutrient, calorie and U.S. RDA are vaguely familiar to you, chances are you need to know more about the foods you eat and how they affect your heal th. lb learn some of the facts behind the information you encounter in . advertisements, newspapers, magazines and on package labels, take this nutrition quiz and see how you rate! - r ' 2. For a well-balanced diet, everyone heeds the exact U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (U.S. RDA) of all the nutrients listed pn food package labels. ' - J H Some foods have "good" Calories and some foods have "bad" Calories. m is a 4. c A nutrient is any substance that is necessary for the functioning of the human body. rf g Fortified foods are foods to which one or more nutrients have been added or in which the original nutrient levels have been increased.' q r) Fortified lowfat and skim-milk products have fewer nutrients than whole-milk products. . 1 ' JJ B Two ounces of natural or pasteurized process cheese has more protein, calcium and phosphorus than an 8-ounce glass of milk. QD GO Meat is the only source of complete protein. a The term "enriched food" is just a general descriptive phrase used by food manufacturers and advertisers to imply that a product is nutritious. f Dieters should avoid pasta because it is too high in calories and doesn't wt contribute to good nutrition. All nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, supply energy. . pQ IJi Fiber intake should be considered in determining the daily diet. CD 11 Health foods are always more nutritious. tn m m b FALSE. The U.S. RDA, established by the Food and Drug Administra tion, lists the requirements of several essential nutrients. The maximum amount required of each nutrient generally the amount needed by an adult male is represented. Thus, many normal, healthy people such as women and small children will not need the full 100 of the U.S. RDA for each nutrient daily. ; r P FALSE. All foods, except water and non-caloric drinks, have Calories. Nutritionally, there are no good or bad Calories, but there are foods with a varying amounts of Calories and nutrients. TRUE. Nutrients are used by the body for growth, tissue repair, energy,, heat, and the regulation of body processes. Macronutrients are required by the body in relatively large amounts. These include carbohydrates, fats, protein, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and chloride. Micronutrients vitamins, iron, iodine, copper and other "trace" miner als are required in small amounts. ' 4. TRUE. The intent of fortified foods is to provide additional amounts of nutrients to the diet. Foods are selected for fortification because they are appropriate carriers for specific nutrients, such as vitamins A and D. - FALSE. Fortified lowfat and skim-milk products have essentially the same nu trients as whole-milk products except less fat for fewer calories. Milk and most milk products provide calcium, ribofla vin, protein and vitamins B6 and B12. They also provide vitamins A and D when fortitied. a 1L TRUE. Two ounces of cheese, a normal serving, have the protein of 1.7 glasses of milk, the calcium of 1.4 glasses of milk and the phosphorus of 1.3 glasses of milk.- . t ,.,."'-,. Z FALSE. Other animal sources such as eggs, fish, poultry, cheese and, milk supply com plete protein of high biological value. - a FALSE. Enriched foods are grain products, cornmeal and rice, to which niacin, thiamine, riboflavin and iron have been added to replace the amounts lost during processing. Processing is necessary to retard spoil age. The replacements are strictly regulated by federal government standards.' ', : . a FALSE. Contrary to popular belief, pasta can be a boon to the weight watcher, when it is included in the menu with a sensible program of ; calorie control and a balanced diet. Enriched pasta products provide protein and have a good distribution of essential amino acids. Pasta's carbohydrate content provides energy, yet it is low-fat, low in sodium, easily digested and satisfying. - ffl FALSE. Proteins, carbohydrates and fats are the only nutrients that J supply energy (Calories). Fats supply over twice as many calories (9 , caloriesgram) as do protein and carbohydrates (4 caloriesgram). , TRUE. The actual importance of fiber in the diet is currently being researched. Nutritionists now know that fiber is the indigestible compo nent of food and aids in the passage of waste products through the intestines for elimination. Major sources of fiber in the diet are whole grains, nuts and vegetables. ; " .';.,"'.. ,. FALSE. In current vernacular, foods that are sold in health food stores or special store departments are labeled "health foods." In theory, these foods have undergone little or no processing; .however, there are no government standards established for regulating their production and v sale. In reality, all foods that supply nutrients and contribute to good health are health foods.

She has experienced both racial and sexual the lack of which stands as the reason that her knowledge of . other black women in the field is limited to her former classmates, or those women discovered via the "grapevine" v or through incidental meetings; Ms. Moore thinks the study . represents "a critical firstrsfep" in the development of a much needed sense of identity among black women in the profession but on ly a first step. . She would like to see the establishment of an archive of black women's contributions to architecture, which would serve as the foun dation for the develop ment of a publication about such women; and, perhaps, a traveling ex hibit to increase their visibility and provide ex amples for others who might choose to follow in their footsteps.
