EIGHT-The Heppner Gaiette-Tfmes. Heppner. Oregon. Thursday. July 16, 1981 Close to Home, Mary Ann Cerullo 'Just a bite9 It occurred to me the other night that part of the reason so many of us in this country are overweight might be that we misuse the English language. One evening, awhile back, my husband and I had been having what I thought was a good enough time at a friend's house.I'll call him Fred. At about 9 Fred suggested we all go out for "a bite to eat." Now Fred's "bite." I couldn't help noticing, consisted of: a roast beef sandwich, an order of coleslaw, two mugs of beer, and the better part of a bountiful serving of French fries. That's about 1000 calories more than one-third of what Fred would do well to restrict himself to in a day's time: by Webster's definition, a "meal." But not to Fred it wasn't. No, to him it was "a bite to eat." This episode touched me off to thinking about some of the other linguistic cover-ups we tend to make. - Coming to dinner "starved" because we "haven't eaten all day." Try quizzing the next person you hear say that. I'll bet you'll find he's had at least a meal's worth of calories in the form of snacks. - "Lightening" our, coffee with cream. Wouldn't "heavying" in a way. be a more accurate description? (I plead guilty to that one.) - "Sprinkling" our cereal with sugar. I've seen cases where burying would have been more like it. - "Sure, I'll try some. But just a taste." How many times have you seen that taste wind up involving a full slice - and then some? My favorite though, and the one that I think hurts us the most, is our misuse of the word "snack". We apply it to foods that calorically speaking, are among the heaviest things we can eat: potato chips, cheese doodles, candy, ice cream, and high-calorie dips. What we ought to call snacks are things like string beans, and carrots, and cauliflower, and maybe lean portions of meat. But no, those are things "meals" are made of - right.
