Why is eating healthy
so difficult
In the 80s and 90s children's
meals co nsisted of french fries,
white bread, concentrated juice
and steak This diet seemed noth-
ing but hardy and healthy to every-
one in those days. After several
years passed, the world advanced
and educated people with the
proper strategies for better nutri-
tion. They realized these types of
food were actually not good for
you. French fries are carbohy-
drates and those are not the good
carbs either. Especially since most
of the time they're fried, but dam
it, do they ever taste good. White
bread pretty much has the nutri-
tional value of a bag of air. And
how can we forget those cans of
juice, all you have to do is open the
seal, dump it in a container, mix it
with water and you have juice. The
fallback of drinking these flavor-
some liquids is that they are mostly
from concentrate. So what does
from concentrate mean? It says on
the carton 100 per cent pure juice
from concentrate. How in the heck
can that be bad? This is how: once
the juice was squeezed all the
water was removed, then the prod-
uct is shipped to another facility or
destination where water is added
back to the juice. So essentially the
fruit has been parched and then
rehydrated. I can only imagine
how many nutrients are lost dur-
ing this process.
Finally we get to steak, there is
nothing like a succulent T-bone.
The problem with eating red meats
excessively is they trigger a toxic
reaction within the body that
weakens the immune system due
to a natural sugar it contains which
our bodies do not digest properly.
To make things worse, according
to a study distributed by Harvard
University, it advocated that a diet
high in red meat elevates the risk
of breast cancer for women by 22
per cent. Right now you are proba-
bly ripping the hair out your head
like Homer Simpson and saying

then what do I eat? This meal plan
is easy. Fresh fruits, fresh vegeta-
bles, none of that frozen garbage,
cut the fried foods out, your heart
will thank you later, chicken, tur-
key, but fish is better, and drink
lots of water. Canned tuna is great.
Greek yogurt, nuts, and grains will
also assist you in a healthy life-
style. Nowyou have a recipe for a
healthy diet, that's it, nothing to it
right? Wrong, do you know how
hard it is to follow those guide-
lines? I wake up and flip on the
tube and I have a fast-food com-
mercial staring me in the eye like I
stole something. Do they have to
make the food that inviting and
delicious looking? When ordering
a meal why is it so much easier to
have with fries than a salad? The
most difficult part is actually going
out to eat and trying to find some-
thing that's beneficial to your
body. I swear everything comes
with bread. If it doesn't come with
that, you best believe it's pro-
cessed. You cannot escape bad
food. It's outside, in your house
and on billboards. If you do try to
hide from it, the sneaky little bug-
gers will send you coupons in the
mailbox, enticing you to save a
buck to clog your arteries. I feel the
whole world promotes an
unhealthy way of living. This week
I made a promise to myself that I
will follow a strict diet, wish me
luck. Only thing I need to do now
is not check my mailbox, watch
television, eat fast-food or order
take-out.
IN THE YEARS AGONE

• Despite a promise that is
could improve the cur-
rent situation, Harpur-
hey residents are less
than anxious to have
Seaforth expand its sani-
tary sewage works.
Neighbours to the Sea -
forth lagoons, Harpurhey
residents expressed con-
cern Wednesday that an
expanded sewage works,
while it may service Sea -
forth better, could result
in an increase in smell,
which they say, is already
nauseating at the best of
times.
• The youth of Seaforth will
have another option of
what they want to do
with their weekend
nights as a non-alcoholic
night club wil be opening
to provide them with a ■
social meeting place.
Club 1855 is an experi-
ment of Rev. Greg Gilson
of the St. Thomas Angli-
can Church.
■ Friday night was a late
one for most Main
Street merchants in
Seaforth, but it also
proved to be a profita- •
ble one. Moonlight
Madness hit the streets
Friday with 40 busi-
nesses participating in
the back to school sale.
Enough customers were
attracted to Main Street
to make this one of the

• Th e Seaforth Foundry,
owned and worked by
Mr. T. Hendry, was
completely destroyed
by fire, together with
most of its contents,
early on Thursday
morning. Th e fi re was
discovered about three
o'clock, but before the
alarm could be given,
and the crowd and fire-
men collected, the
building was so far gone
that nothing could save
it. Th e total loss is esti-
mated at about $7,000
on which there is an
insurance of only
$1,500. We have not
learned whether or not
Mr. Hendry intends to
rebuild but we sincerely
hope he will. The
foundry was a most val-
uable industry in town;
in fact, we can not very
well get along without
one.
All should remember the
Caledonian games in
Seaforth, on Tuesday,
and the splendid concert
in the evening should
not be forgotten. Miss
Annie McNeil's Scottish
songs are of themselves a
sufficient attraction to
draw a large audience.
Messrs. Hamilton Broth-
ers, late of Stratford, have
opened out in the boot
and shoe business in
Latimer's old stand. Th
ey are said to be pushing,
energetic men and will,
no doubt, make things
hum.
Th e public school and
Collegiate Institute
opened on Monday last
with a fair attendance of
pupils at both institu-
tions and good prospects
for an early and large
increase.
