Cowlielles 1 hope the information from the article "Red Meat and Health" by Heather Smith Thomas has been interesting so far. We found the informa tion quite up-to-dale since these studies were done in I'WO If we are truly concerned about good nutrition or about losing weight or staying slim while maintaining good physi cal fitness and high energy levels, we should take another look at animal products. They mav be some of our best allies in maintaining health and fit ness. Red meat contains nature's highest quality protein, many B vitamins, and minerals es sential to life, and it is the most efficient source of iron and zinc. For the weight watcher especially meat can be a real blessing, for it provides more nutrients per Crop Report The Oregon Crop and Live stock Reporting Service has released the following Crop Report ; Oregon Oregon's 1983 winter wheat production is forecast at 61.4 million bushels, based on con ditions as of May 1. Despite a in percent drop in acreage estimated for harvest to 990.000 acres, production is projected to be one percent above the 19H2 output. With excellent conditions prevai ling in most of Eastern Ore gon, a record stale yield of 62 bushels per acre is projected. This is one more than the . previous record of 61 bushels established in 1981. A special planted acreage intentions survey conducted in April indicates Oregon farmers have planted or intend to plant 105.ono acres of spring wheat, five percent less than a vear ago. Other intended acreages include: Barley, 2.VUKKI acres, up nine percent; oats. no. ooo acres, down seven percent: field corn fio.noo acres, down eight per cent from last year. Growers expect to harvest 1.120.000 acres of all hay, five percent more than cut in 1982. United States The United States winter wheat production forecast at I 89 billion bushels as of May 1 is 10 percent less than last year's record high production of 2 11 billion bushels. Acreage for harvest, at 47.1 million acres, is 19 percent below a year ago. Indicated per acre vield. at 40.2 bushels, is 4.1 bushels higher than last year. Seals sometimes swim 6,000 miles over a period of eight months without once touch ing land. calorie than any other basic food, Lean meat contains manv of the essentials our bodies must have, yet it is verv low in calories. Meat provides all the amino acids of protein in correct balance. Some types of vege tables contain protein, but not in a form that can be as readily utilized by the human digestive system. Vegetable protein is incomplete protein. Several types of vegetable proteins have to be combined in order to be adequate for our needs whereas meat contains complete protein in a readily assimilated form. Some vege table proteins also have the disadvantage of creating ex cess gas in the digestive tract. Dr. George Briggs. nutrition professor at the University of California-Berkeley, has said. "A vegetarian, to be adequa tely nourished, must have a sophisticated knowledge of nutrient sources and would have to spend more time than a meateater - who makes choices from all food groups -in planning and organizing meals because of the compli cated process of selecting the appropriate food combinations." Other spring wheat growers expect to plant 11.6 million acres of other spring wheat in 1983. down 30 percent from last year. Barley acreage intentions of 10 6 million acres are up 11 percent from 1982. Conserva tion use acreage for govern ment, programs is estimated at 489 thousand acres, less than five percent of total 1983 planting intentions. Oats acreage intentions of 21 3 million acres are up 50 percent from 1982. Conserva tion use acreage for govern ment programs is estimated at 8 9fi million acres. 42 per cent of all 1983 planting inten tions, indicating 12.3 million acres will be available as acreage for grain. Corn growers intend to plant 58.8 million acres in 1983. down 28 percent from the 81.9 million acres planted in 1982. 274 Main Street The Heppner A vegetarian diet may have ' other drawbacks as well. A 1981 study by the University of m Kansas Medical Center dis covered that some vegetable proteins may inhibit iron ab sorption. The Kansas study, performed by a team of hema tologists led by Dr. James Cook, showed that protein products from processed soy beans inhibit absorption of iron in humans by as much as 92 percent. By contrast, beef and other animal proteins not only contain iron that is easily absorbed by the body but help in the absorption of iron from other foods. Dr. Cook specualted that if a person is iron-deficient, ex cessive use of soy protein could cause problems. Many vegetarian-minded people seem to think that meat's only contribution to health is protein. But it also provides B vitamins and im portant minerals - vital phos phorus, potassium and essen tial micro-nutrients - many of which cannot be found in plant foods. Meat is the best source of natural iron, necessary for prevention of anemia. Iron is especially needed by growing children, teenage boys and women between the ages of 11 and 51. The need for iron is even greater if a woman is pregnant or nursing a baby. Meat is more digestible than vegetables. Proteins from meat are at least 97 percent digested and meat fat is at least 96 percent digested. Meats are digested in the stomach as well as in the intestines. Vegetables, by con trast, are not broken down at all in the stomach and pass through quickly, with a high percentage of the material going completely through the tract undigested. Meats are digested more slowly but more completely and are more totally utilized by the body. This longer period of digestion makes meat more filling and satisfying - you don't get hungry again as quickly after eating meat as after some other types of foods. Meat in a meal can help ward off the between-meal hunger pangs which frequent ly lead to snacking and overeating. Once in a while you run into great combinations. Teams like Burns and Allen.
