"Somehow, it Keirj easier for
thin food sense," says Dr. John Yudkin, professor of nutrition,
Ijniversity of London. "It may be quite difficult to persuade j
people to drink milk and eat vegetables and fruit, but much
easier to persuade them to take yogurt, molasses, brewers' yeast
and wheat-germ, or to eat their meat and their potato at separate
meals." i
Dr. Yudkin wrote thus in a book entitled "Man's Choice of
Foods." He may be correct, but what we wonder sometimes is
this: How are we to decide which ideas are sense and what is j
nonsense? Great quantities of food material comes to our desk,
much of it quotes from individuals, like Dr. Yudkin, who should i
be authoritative, and a lot of it is contradictory. One day we
receive a release from a nutritionist who says give children mo
lasses in their milk, it will supply iron and necessary minerals; the
next day we get one which reads "The benefits of blackstrap
molasses have been overestimated."
One day we read that only fresh oranges have the proper
vitamin C, a day or two later we get a release from the citrus
fruit industry itself quoting a number of nutritionists and dieti
tioni to the effect that frozen orange juice has just as many
vitamins as does the fresh, particularly if the latter has been
exposed to the air for any length of time.
We distinctly remember a Mpdford eye specialist once telling
us to eat lots of raw carrots that they were just chuck-a-block
with vitamin A; now we have a release on our desk which quotes
n assistant professor of biochemistry, College of Medical Evange
lists, Loma Linda, Calif., which says "The vitamin A in raw
carrots is not so available as it is in cooked carrots."
But Potpourri has the answer. We eat everything Everything
but horseradish, that is. And caviar. We eat the seven basic foods,
(which the authorities are reducing to four now) and then (we
add whatever else comes our way, slapping ourself on the wrist
from time to time for eating too many sweets.
However, it seems to be generally agreed by many food
authorities that the people in this country eat the wrong kinds
of food, and that most of us eat too much for really top notch
health. Last week a story which came to The Tribune, quoted
Cornell university researchers as saying that homemakers don't
really know the rudiments of good nutrition.
Only a fifth to a third of the homemakers polled planned
their meals on the basis of some real knowledge of nutrition, the
release said. Only a third of the women could give an adequate
reason relating to nutrition for their selection of any group of
foods. It was found that many had erroneous ideas about food
and nutrition.
Only a fourth attached a valid meaning to the phrase "bal
anced diet." It was found that the greatest need for more nutrition
al knowledge by homemakers is in regard to ascorbic-acid-rich
and vitamin-A-rich fruits and vegetables, and in regard to milk,
'bread and cereals and butter or margarine.
The same release announced that two U.S. Department of
Agriculture experts, Louise Page and Esther F. Phipard, have
written a pamphlet entitled "Essentials of an Adequate Diet."
(Agricultural Research Service Report No. 62-4.) It explains the
importance of the various food groups and the authors advocate
that everyone drink some milk daily, eat two or more servings
of meat or allied food daily; four or more servings of the vegetable-fruit
group daily, including a dark-green or deep-yellow
vegetable important for vitamin A (here're those carrots again)
at least every other day and a citrus fruit or other fruit or vege
tables important for vitamin C daily; and four or more servings
of whole grain, enriched or restored bread or cereals daily.
And please, you who disagree with this "enriched and re
stored" business, write to the Department of Agriculture don't
write to m. We're on your side already.
We hit the jackpot on letters last week. Both of the young
married! wrote in one week. The soldier said he found discipline
lesa rigid at Fort Jay, on Governor's island, than at Fort Ord,
and was pleased to find that the First Army band, to which he is
assigned, plays mostly concert music.
Writing about the subways he said, "In the morning you
find the working man and the Wall street man side by side, keep
ing their eyes fixed in space with their faces set in an attitude
of habitual boredom. In the evening all are reading something.
Tha tabloids are the favorite since, being smaller than the con
ventional paper, they are easier to read and handle in the crowds."
Now, having moved to Brooklyn, the two take the ferry each
day to Fort Jay, and according to the soldier, it is one of the
interesting parta of the day. "I was interested to note that the
atatue is not the tall graceful object I had pictured. Viewed from a
distance, the lady is short, stubby and decidedly and definitely
jreen. Although she is the symbol of liberty in America, I did
not find her as thrilling as I had anticipated."

famous skyline view in front of you. The sky is just becoming
darkened with the forthcoming night and the lights of the many
famous buildings are winking on, one by one. All of the buildings
are outlined by the lighter sky and the daytime, dirty city of
New York becomes the magic city of lights and glamour."
The two of them have decided that Brooklyn isn't so bad
after all. They discovered that it wasn't filled with "thieves, bums
arM hoods, and cops with Irish accents." They do find the Brook
lyn accent difficult, and have decided, like a lot of other new
comers to New York, that many of the residents are provincial.
Many live and die in one borough, it seems, without ever getting
more than a few blocks from home and "they consider anyone
from Pennsylvania a westerner. Imagine what they think of us!"
For some reason or the other everyone laughs when we tell
them this. We're going to San Francisco to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the canned peach. (By the time this is in print we
will have gone and the celebration will have ended). But looking
back on the enjoyment we've had from peaches, canned and
fresh, it doesn't seem so amusing to celebrate such an anniversary.
Potpourri's canned peach eating dates back to the days when
the family lived , in Pacific county, Washington. We all loved
canned peaches, so each September mother ordered boxes and
boxes, and canned peaches for days on end. A hundred qjiarts or
more. And by spring they would be all gone.. Eaten with freshly
baked bread slathered with butter and apple butter, or with
mother's white cocoanut cake, they were wonderful.
Any woman knows that many small things go wrong when
you're trying to pack in a hurry. There's always an unexpected
run in the hose, or the hem that needs fixing, or the broken strap.
But did you ever take an evening gown from its paper sack,
fresh from the cleaners, and find the straps sewed on with the
hanger b9r inside? O.S.
