including things made with "I get a lot of my own meals
soybeans, dried peas, beans, and I never really thought of what
peanut butter, poultry, fish and I was getting. Now I've got more
eggs which have the same
components as meat.

something from those four food
groups you will be meeting their

makes you think a • little more
about what you're eating. 1 think
• it does make you eat the. right
things. It makes you think of what
you're ordering in the restaurant
too."
Another gentleman commented
that this was kind of a refresher
course on what you take in school
but he said that it's good to keep
in mind when you're bringing up
the children that you can set a,
good example.

Wingham said that if he was

about these things. When it's
brought up in front of you; you
listen", he said.

Kinsmen learn about nutrition
January 23 - 28 is Nutrition
Week and even the Belgrave
Kinsmen have been made aware
of the fact.
Grace Bird, home economist
with the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, in Clinton, was the
guest speaker at a meeting of the
Kinsmen held in the Queen's
Hotel in Brussels last Wednesday
night.
She talked about the four
groups of foods from Canada's
food guide which are: milk and
milk prOducts, bread and cereals,
meat and meat alternates and
fruits and vegetables.
She said that you have to think
of the component that these foods
have in them so you can have a
balanced diet.
Milk and the milk products
group supplies us with calcium.
We need calciuni in our bodies
to have strong bones and teeth.
We also need protein. It builds
and repairs tissues in our body,"
she said.
Milk also supplies us with
energy, Vitamin D which helps
us to absorb the calcium, and
Vitamin A which helps us to see
and helps our skin. •
The recommended intake of
milk and milk products for adults
is two servings a day.
Bread and Cereal
The next group, the bread and
. cereal group provides iron which
,is a blood builder, carbohydrates
which are an energy source,
protein, the B vitamins --
thiamin, riboflavin and niacine
which give us healthy skin and
promote growth.
The Food Guide recommends
three to five servings a day from
the bread and cereals group for
an adult, Ms. Bird told the
Kinsmen.
The fruits and vegetables
group supplies us with Vitamin
C and Vitamin A which is found in
a lot of yellow and green
vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables provide
us with iron and carbohydrates
according to Ms: Bird. She said
that Vitamin C is found naturally
in a lot of foods such as citrus
fruit, broccoli, and strawberries.
The recommended serving of
fruits, and vegetables are four to
five servings a day. •
Meat and Meat alternates
provide us with Vitamin A,
Vitamin B, iron and protein, Ms.
Bird said,
The. recommended serving of
these for an adult is two servings
a day with a serving of Meat being
about 3 ounces.
'Meat Productsr
If yob can't have-. meat ; there
ate sirnulated meat products that
