Secretary of Agriculture, Or ville Freeman stated, in part, "The report indicated that des pite higher income, and the fact that Americans may choose from among the greatest abund ance and variety of wholesome nutritious food at the lowest real cost at any time in our history, there has resulted a somewhat adverse shift in food habits and some change in national dietary levels. According to the survey: only half of the households had diets that met the -allowances for all nutrients. These diets were ret ail "annHM Tha rtfka. half fclt- www - VUIM MU.

More than one-third (37 per cent) of the households with -incomes of $10,000 and over like theSmiths had diets below recommended allowances for one or more re qutretrmitrleirts. Desplterls ing incomes, fewer households had good diets today than ten years ago. The typical American home maker evidently must take a closer look at the value of meals served their families. Accord ing to nutrient experts, each meal should be planned around the four basic food groupst (1) Milk and milk products (2) meat, fish poultry, eggs (3) fruits and vegetables (4) cereals and breads. By including one item from each of the four groups with every meal, the homemaker is automatically assured of pro viding nutritionally balanced menus for the family. ,v We begin by asking you, re gardless of your income, to analyse your , own family's eat ing patterns in relation to the lour basic food groups. Good nutrition begins at home-your home. Perquimans Co; Historical Society . By&A. Wlrulow,Jr. .
