sawdust). The Smith brothers both
placed high for a very memorable
first show. Several grown-ups includ

first experience in the show ring.

good time.

Fatty foods and your health
by Juanita T. Bailey, Home Econom
ics Extension Agent
If you're like most Americans, you
get almost half your total calories
from fat. Unfortunately, health pro
fessionals recommend fat provide no
more than one-third of the total num
ber of calories you consume daily.
One of the major problems asso
ciated with a diet high in fat is a high
blood cholesterol level. If you have a
high blood cholesterol level, you have
a much greater chance of having a
heart attack or developing heart dis
ease. A high blood cholesterol level is
usually defined as more than 220 mil
ligrams of cholesterol per 100 millilit
ers of blood.
Other factors such as high blood
pressure, cigarette smoking, and
lack of exercise, can increase your
risk of heart disease. But, a high
blood cholesterol level is the most im
porta nt risk factor. And it's one thing
you can do something about.
Reducing the total amount of fat
you eat, particularly saturated fat, is
the key. Saturated fat is found pri
marily in red meat, poultry, dairy
products, coconut oil and palm oils.
Cutting back on other foods high in
cholesterol such as eggs, shellfish,
liver and organ meats can help, too.
Even if you don't have a family his
tory of heart disease, it doesn't hurt
to watch your total fat intake. You
can do this by: choosing lean meat,
fish, poultry, dry beans and peas as
primary sources; using skim or low
fat milk and dairy products; and lim
iting intake of fats and oil, especially
those high in saturated fat. Trim the
fat off meats before you cook them.
You'll do well to read labels carefully
to determine the amount and type of
fat in foods.
