Portland Observer, September 7, 1983 Page 7 ★ NOW OPEN* Snacks can be nutritious, too by M om ne Strode-Stebbins O SU Extension Service Food can take on all kinds of meaning. Sweets are often used as a reward when someone has been good or done something special. Food can also be used as comfort or consolation. I f things go wrong in your world, maybe a little food will “ make it better.” Sometimes we eat because we're bored. I f there’s “ nothing to d o ," we often start looking in the cup boards or refrigerator for something to liven things up. Food is also given to express love. " I made this especially for yo u !" becomes an invitation to eat the special food or reject the person who made it. The way children are fed can lead to lifelong good eating habits. As we study more about nutrition, we have changed the recommendations for feeding young children. When my children were babies, you started them out on solid foods early. The idea was that you wanted to keep their tummies full so they’d sleep through the night and not be fussy. Research now shows that the first solid food baby should eat is a baby cereal that is iron-fortified at five or six months o f age. They should be introduced to fruits, vegetables and meat one at a time at seven or eight months. Some feel that early intro duction o f foods other than milk leads to allergies an d /o r overweight. There is also a strong feeling that you should avoid encouraging chil dren to eat more than they want. Il teaches them to ignore the body signals o f fullness. It may lead to a lifetime of overeating and obesity. On (he other hand, we hear more and more about teenagers, especial ly girls, who are suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, an eating pattern (hat is self-imposed starvation. When Anorexis Nervosa patients were studied in Australia, they gen erally scored higher on a test o f their nutrition knowledge. Even though they know what they need for good health, they have a distorted idea of «4ial they body should look like, and feel that they are much too fat even when they are emaciated So w hat’s the answer? Setting a good example in your own eating habits is important.

A ll this attention given to food can sometimes make food the center o f your universe. You get lots of attention when you cook something special, and most of us enjoy the social aspects of eating, too. This emphasis on food can create problems. One of those problems is overeating.
