Oregon kids learn about beef Oregon kids are learning the basics about beef, thanks to a recently revised booklet that in cludes challenging puzzles and graphics designed to make learn ing fun, said an Oregon Beef Council press release. Funded with beef checkoff dollars invested by cattle pro ducers in Morrow County and throughout the nation, ‘‘Basics About B eef’ is a teaching tool for use with high school and middle school home economics and nutrition education students. First produced approximately 15 years ago, the recently revised edition o f ‘‘Basics About Beef” demonstrates how beef fits into a healthy diet and also reflects the newest recommended daily allowances for Americans. To date, more than 21,000 copies of the newly revised booklet have been distributed to teachers and other professionals throughout the United States. ‘‘Basics About Beef contains im portant nutrition information and explores all aspects of buying, storing, preparing and serving beef,” says Mick Scott, executive director of the Oregon Beef Council. ‘‘Students learn how to make the best beef buy and how to prepare beef to enhance SPOTLICHT ^ SERVICES ^ AGRIDATA BOOKKEEPING SERVICES If you’re tired of the grind of bookkeeping ask us about com puterized Agridata Bookkeeping Services.

A crossword puzzle and other games and activities help to in crease classroom interest and to reinforce the information learn ed ." ‘‘Our booklet is designed to help the younger generation en joy beef as a source of nutrients needed by the body and as a great-tasting food that fits into a healty low-fat meal," adds Scott. Kids learn that a typical three ounce serving of cooked 80 per cent lean ground beef has only 228 calories and contains 21 grams of protein, .18 milligrams of riboflavin, 4.4 milligrams of niacin, two micrograms of vitamin B12, 1.8 milligrams of iron and 4.6 milligrams of zinc. The booklet also teaches that beef is much leaner than it was 25 years ago. Explains Scott, "Basics About B eef’ enourages young shoppers to consider wholesomeness, quality, appearance and cost-per- serving when buying beef and also provides basic kitchen skills that fewer children seem to be picking up at home.” In some schools, “ Basics About B eef’ is used in conjunction with the video kit, ‘‘Cooking Today’s Beef,” another beef checkoff funded education program. "A s our children grow up, it will become increasingly important for them to understand the relationship bet ween cookery method, cooking time, grade and tenderness,” says Scott. Cattle producers in Morrow County and throughout the nation invest through the beef checkoff to fund production of numerous teaching tools, such as "Basics About B eef’. “ When it comes to the nutritional benefit, taste and value of beef, cattle producers have a great message to share with people of all ages,” con cludes Scott.
