It Was Fun Before We Learned
Eating Is Hazardous To Health
by John Sledge
N.C. Farm Bureau Federation
There was a time when eating
was fun, one of life's real pleasures.
That was before we Americans
discovered that eating is hazardous
to our health.
As youngsters, we were taught to
eat several selections daily from the
four food groups. Now, we're
learning to be suspect of anything
edible.
Let's look at a typical breakfast.
The bacon and sausage that we love
so much have nitrites and fat. Our
eggs have cholesterol. Hash browns
are fried ?? another no-no. Milk has
too much butterfat. Our cereals,
we're told, aren't really nutritious
And we eat them with too much
sugar. Coffee is suspected of caus
ing possible heart problems. This is
breakfast, the meal mothers pro
mote to their children as the most
important meal of the day.
We could settle for a glass of
water and that all-time favorite
breakfast item -- toast. But. can we
really trust toast?
No, say some scientists from
Kansas State University. Toasting
our bread, they claim, promotes a
chemical reaction that reduces
protein building amino acids in
bread and converts nutrients into
unusable forms. The scientists say
it would be more nutritious if we
didn't toast our bread.
Do you realize that our breakfast
has just been reduced to bread and
water? Maybe when we threw
convicts in the hole and fed them
bread and water, we were doing
them a favor. If we'd known then
what we know today, we could have
threatened them with bacon and
eggs, hash browns, cereal, milk,
coffee and toast. That would have
made them change their ways!
It all sounds pretty ridiculous,
doesn't it?
The problem is that too many
conclusions are being drawn from
inconclusive research. It is the type
of "research" that gets people on
talk shows and helps them sell
books and articles, but it doesn't
add much scientific knowledge
about the causes of various health
problems or their prevention.
gusty winds, was reported in all
sections of Hoke County Tuesday
night, and in other neighboring
areas as well, pushing temperatures
down and bringing relief to suffer
ing crops.

The spread of the gas war from
the Piedmont section through
Moore and Hoke County on Tues
day of last week, and from Hoke
into the edge of Cumberland on
Wednesday, marked about the end
of the spread.

A federal team will arrive here
Wednesday to advise local school
officials how to step up integration
of Hoke County schools so as to
comply with Title IV of the Civil
Rights Act of 1%4.

'God's Prison Gang
To Be Shown
"God's Prison Gang," a motion
picture documentary telling of the
conversion of four criminals to the
Christian way of living, will be
shown Sunday at Raeford Four
square Church, 506 E. Prospect
Ave., starting at 7 p.m., and at
Raeford Evangelican Methodist
Church, on the corner of Green
Street and West Sixth Avenue,
starting at 7:30.
The film, shot behind the walls
of New York's Attica prison, is
hosted by Art Linkletter. It tells the
story of how the work of Inter
national Prison Ministry is ac
complishing what more guards,
higher prison walls and greater
financial expenditures have failed
to do -- keep released inmates from
returning to lives of crime.
Telling their stories in the 44
minute film are George Meyer, A1
Capone's favorite driver; Floyd
Hamilton, (Public Enemy No. 1),
the last of the Bonnie and Gyde
Gang; Jerry Graham, the "robber
king" of California; and Ted
Jefferson, convicted of crimes from
drugs and robbery to murder.
Also featured is "Chaplain Ray,"
whose Dallas-based International
Prison Ministry has changed the
lives of thousands of inmates over
the past 18 years.
