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

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.

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. Ferrante and

' theory contest.
"Pencil and Paper was the
hardest," he said.
He received a ribbon at an
awards assembly held that
afternoon.
"Some of the other kids who
won whole divisions got things
like plaques and calculators
...even scholarships.
"It was really worth it,"
said Chris, "We had the whole
