Te!e-fun by Warran Goodrich Americans' Menus More Healthful Than They Were Twenty Years Ago By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON NEA) Americans are learning what to eat The most comprehensive study ever made of the eating habits of the American people has just been released by the Department of Agriculture. For the first time it reveals all of the details of U. S. diet trends since 1909. Expert nutritionists who helped prepare the report agreed that to day's average American menu is far more balanced and health ful than it was 20 years ago. Ad vertising and public health cam- fiaigns for years have been try ng to educate the people to this end. There has been a steady shift away from the foods that make you fat to the foods that give you more energy and supply more of the Important vitamins. In 21 years the average person has re duced his potato eating 63 per cent. During that same period his consumption of canned fruit Juic es has jumped 453 per cent. That phenomenal Increase is the big gest single change that has occur red in the American diet. From the standpoint of health, the experts say that increases in the consumption of dairy pro ducts, all fruits, and vegetables are the most significant changes. The eating of dairy products, ex clusive of butter, has gone up ap proximately 40 per cent. For veg etables the rise was 40 per cent, and for all fruits. 41 per cent. Less Wheat Foods Eaten The relative increases are only slightlv minimized by the fact that the average .American's in take of all food has gone up about 12 per cent. The big increases In consumption of dairy products, fruits and vegetables means that these items have become a much bigger fraction of the American diet than potatoes and wheat pro ducts, the latter having dropped 6 per cent in relative popularity during the past 20 years. The diet experts point out that there are Important food e 1 e ments in wheat nroducts which are essential to life. But In the past there was a tendency to make them too big a fraction of the diet. The trend away from that large quantity which used to be eaten is considered good because it has been in the direc tion of a more balanced diet. Today the average person eats about 1581 pounds of food per year, according to the report. Here it is broken down according to major food groups: At the top are dairy products with 431 pounds as the average yearly quantity consumed per person. Next most popular group is 348 pounds of leafy yellow and green vegetables, other vegetab les except potatoes, and fruits except citrus fruits and tomatoes. Corn Bread Use Drops Third on the list are 171 pounds of grain products including those made from wheat, corn, rye, bar ley and rice. Then next in order: 158 pounds of meat, poultry and fish; 115 pounds of potatoes and sweet potatoes; 106 pounds of su gar and syrups; 105 pounds of citrus fruit and tomatoes; 65 pounds of fats, oils and butter. 7 pounds of eggs; 19 pounds of coffee, tea and cocoa; and 16 pounds of dry beans, peas, nuts and soya products. They add up to the total of 1581 pounds. In 1909 grain products were the second most popular foods after dairy products. Since 1909 pota toes dropped from fourth to fifth place, switching places wiih meat, fish and poultry. Within the major groups there have also been some interesting shifls. Corn bread used to be a popular food down south and with the lower income groups to thf north. Average per capita con sumption dropped from 52.1 pounds to 14.5 pounds. Hominy grits which are eaten almost ex clusively in the south haze drop ped from an average per person consumption of 4.5 pounds per person to 2. pounds. The report is of greatpst Inter est to all persons connected with the food business. "So you loft tho rocolvor off the. hook only a few seconds age, ohT" . . .
