Portland Observer. March 2. 1983 Page 7 E a t a n d Grow Younger Kentucky Fried adds soul menu Seeds hold germ of life by LeLord Korde! Modern diets ignore the axiom that seeds hold the germ of life. Too often overlooked is the fact that na­ ture has placed in seed foods the concentrated essence of all nutrition to provide for the sprouting plant. Proteins are centered in the seeds so the new life may receive ample nour­ ishment for normal growth. Little by little, modern nutritional science is inclining to the belief that whole seed cereals (I stress “ whole** because o f the health-blind custom o f milling most o f the food value out o f our cereals) can supply for your diet a now-missing something that form erly was there when life and eating habits were much closer to the primitive. In fact, several biochemists have told me it is their private opinion that only when we regain that miss­ ing "something“ in our diets which the prim itive peoples enjoyed will we find the preventive for many of our deficiency and wasting diseases. For the first time in the Portland area, one o f the Kentucky Fried Chicken stores is o ffe rin g Spicy Crispy chicken. Spicy Crispy, a product w ith a different way o f cooking from the Original Recipe, has a distinct sharp taste. When served with the new “ Mean Greens’ * and Spicy Rice, this product forms a whole new menu available only at the new Union Avenue store. Tested in several Eastern markets, the new special segment menu has had great acceptance in those mar kets where it has been introduced. In the local area, this is the First of what could be several Kentucky Fried Chicken stores that will offer Spicy Chicken, special side items and the new biscuits. seeds make a delicious confection, with a flavor far superior to pea­ nuts. M illet and sunflower seeds con­ tain lecithin to aid in generating nerve electricity. When your nerves are plentifully supplied with leci­ thin, your body abounds in nervous energy; but when the supply of leci­ thin gets low as it does at the end of the day. nerve energy decreases, and you say you are “ tired and sleepy.“ A serious deficiency of lecithin in the diet can bring on a nerve exhaus­ tion that is characterized by chronic fatigue which rest does not alleviate. For added low-cost protein-nutri­ tion it will pay you to get acquainted with m illet and sunflower seeds. Both are available in health food stores— who slock them shelled and ready-to-use. The made-front-scratch biscuits arc now being offered in moat of the Portland KFC stores but only the lo- cation at. 5271 N .E . Union has the special segment menu SAFEWAY Millet ranks high Millet is the first of the seed cer­ eals that should be on your table regularly. Little known in this country, ex­ cept as poultry and animal feed, millet has been one of the principal grains o f Eastern Europe, A frica, Siberia and China for centuries. Laboratory investigations have revealed that no food is digested with as great ease as millet. It does not ferment in the stomach, causing digestive and intestinal distress, as do foods made from white flour and other devitalized grains. A fter W orld W ar I, millions of peasants in While Russia faced star­ vation. In desperation, they ate the millet which had been put away for the chickens they no longer had. And what happened? Not only did these peasants survive the long period of famine, but they soon dis­ covered they were enjoying better health than they had ever known while consuming their former varied diets. The completeness and high quality of the protein in millet make it possible for your body to be well supplied with essential amino acids, even though little or no other pro­ tein foods are eaten. Starch is never a safe substitute for protein. The only foods which should ever appear in the menu as honest substi­ tutes for a meat dish are eggs, cheese, milk and high-protein seed cereals. By adding extra amounts of dry skim milk to these protein meat substitutes, a meatless diet can be within the safe daily minimum of 100 to ISO grams of protein. Now don't get the idea that I'm recommending that you do away with meat in your diet, and substi­ tute millet. Meat is an unexcelled, hard-to-replace food, but there are thousands o f persons living on in­ comes that won't permit their pur­ chasing meat every day in the week. For that reason, I believe that more recognition should be given to millet (sunflower seeds, too) as a n u tri­ tionally safe, low-cost, easily diges­ tible meat substitute.

Back in the days of the czars, ev­ ery Russian soldier in the field was given his daily “ iron ra tio n ’ ’ — a two-pound bag of sunflower seeds. Because the army away from its supply bases was sometimes forced to live exclusively on these seeds, the officers furnished their men with this tasty, lightweight food knowing that it gave them all the nourish­ ment needed to keep them in good condition. Besides the protein, vita­ mins and other minerals, two pounds of sunflower seeds contain about 2 1 milligrams of iron. The average grown man requires at least 12 milligrams o f iron each day for optimum health, while the average woman needs a minimum of IS milligrams.
