Families Eat Better Now

Eating habits of families in the
United States have changed con-
siderably in the past 40 years.
These changes are good ones, &C
cording to Miss M. Gertrude Holo-
way, nutrition specialist for the
Delaware Extension Service. More
milk, green vegetables, fruits, eggs
and fats and oils are being used.
There has also been some increase
in the use Of meat and poultry.
There is a trend toward using less
potatoes, grains and sugar and sir
ups.
The foods for which the increase
has been the greatest-milk, eggs,
vegetables and fruits-are sources
Of valuable food nutrients which
contribute to good health. Proteins,
calcium, other minerals, and vita
minis are important nutrients found
in the foods which are now being
used more.
Reasons for changes in nation
wide eating habits may be several:
the trend toward smaller families
which brings about a tendency to-
ward better diets; increased pur-
chasing power Of families; nutri-
ton teaching done through educa-
ton and advertising; and increased
production of food at home. Still
another factor has been the devel-
opments in freezing as a way to
preserve food.

check of fire dangers on all farms,
county agents and other Univer-

campaign. According to Miss
Louise r. Whitcomb, Home Man
agement Specialist, rural people
are being asked to enroll in the
program this week.
The program includes safety
practices to be carried out on
farms each month until August.
At the end of that time, those TAX
ing part will receive certificates.

neys of enrollees.

paign by calling or writing their
county agricultural agents, home
demonstration agents, or All Club
agents. The Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil, the Rural Firemen, and the

zations supporting the program.
