That's the message from The Canadian Diabetic Association (CDA), the national organization representing 5,000 dietitians, as they kick off Nutrition Month on March 1. "Enjoying delicious food is one of life's pleasures, and good nutrition and good taste go hand in hand," explains Susan Fyshe, Manager of Public Awareness Programs for CDA. "There are no BROCCOLI, YAMS AND MUSHROOMS WITH NOODLES 2 cups egg noodles or 500 mL other pasta 2 cloves garlic, sliced 1 yam, unpeeled, quartered and sliced into 1/4"/.5 cm slices 1 cup broccoli florets 250 mL 1 cup quartered mushrooms 250 mL 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 250 mL 2 tbsp. light soya sauce 25 mL 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves 1 mL 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1 mL In large sauce pan of boiling water, add noodles and garlic.

It's not only what you eat, it's how often and how much." She points out that healthy eating is the total of all food choices made over time. The overall diet can include high, moderate and low fat foods, and still meet the guidelines for reducing total fat in the diet. Most Canadians can benefit by simply increasing the variety of foods eaten from the basic four food groups — grain products; vegetables and fruit; milk products; meat and alternatives. "We're encouraging Canadians to explore the diversity of multi- cultural, ethnic and regional cuisines available," Ms Fyshe says. "We want to dispel the misconcep- tion that healthy eating is bland and boring, because nothing could be further from the truth. Nutrition is delicious!" While nine out of 10 Canadians consider nutrition important when making food choices, 'taste is still the main factor when it comes to buying and preparing food. This year, CDA has partnered with the Canadian Federation of Chefs and Cooks (CFCC) to show Canadians how to 'Celebrate the Pleasure of Healthy Eating'. "Chefs today recognize the growing concern for healthy eating as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, and are using fresh produce, herbs, spices and cooking techniques which maximize natural flavours with less fat," says Julius Pokomandy, president of the Canadian Federation of Chefs and Cooks. "We are pleased to work with CDA and dietitians from coast to coast promoting the partnership between good taste and nutrition." "Taste preferences and eating patterns start to form early in life and are strongly influenced by family and peers," notes CDA President Carollyne Conlinn. "Families should be encouraged to get children involved in the selection and preparation of food, to stimulate their interest and educate their taste buds." The keys to a healthy lifestyle, says Ms Fyshe, are pleasure, relaxation and a sense of well- being. Eat well. Be active. Feel good about yourself. For more information on healthy eating, contact a dietitian at your local hospital, health department, volunteer health agency, university, in private consulting or industry. The 1995 Nutrition Month campaign has been made possible through the generous support of the Official Sponsors — Dairy Bureau of Canada and POST cereals — along with the campaign partners, Health Canada's Vitality Program and the Canadian Federation of Chefs and Cooks. The March 29 Liberal nomination vows to be an interesting race. The fourth candidate, and the only woman, is no stranger to the county. A lifetime resident of the Hensall- Exeter area, Ms Wurm has made extensive connections throughout the whole of Huron County. Building on 20 years of exper- ience in agricultural publishing, and public relations, Ms Wurm was the driving force behind the, successful Huron Safe Homes for Youth program, which began in the Exeter area in 1988 and expanded county wide in 1990. Wurm's work with the Safe Homes project earned her the Excellence in Education Continued from page 1 million. "Though the cuts are substantial, I believe it was something the farmers were expecting. They may have been expecting more of a hit." One allowance Mr. Martin has provided, as with many of the other changes brought about by the bud- get, is a period of adjustment. The cuts are not retroactive. The farm- ers have been given breathing room to adjust, he says. The Western Grains Transporta- tion program, at a cost of around $600 million has been eliminated. Mr. Steckle says there will still be support for certain producers depending on their individual cir- cumstances, such as acreage and distance to the nearest elevator or port. The Ontario Federation of Agri- culture has expressedconcerns that - the budget will "handcuff farmers at a time when agricultural diversi- ty and value-added could have been a boon to the national economy". OFA president Roger George says the cuts to trade and market development, research, inspection services and safety nets will be detrimental to the industry. Though Mr. Steckle agrees that some research facilities will be closed to eliminate duplication, Award from the Huron County Board of Education and the Ontario Teachers Federation, and the program was honoured with the Solicitors-General's Crime Preven- tion Award in 1989. In addition, Ms Wurm has served on a myriad of county committees, including the South Huron Hospital Board as county representative, and most as chair of the Police Services Board in Exeter during the successful transition from Municipal to OPP policing. Ms Wurm recently added to a business degree by completing her Masters. She currently combines lay ministry for the United Church with small business consulting in Southwestern Ontario. government support for research and development will remain strong. Other agencies, such as universi- ties, will be used as sources of research, he says, and the govern- ment will continue to support farm families, but through a revamped single farm subsidy program. "Farmers and all Canadians must realize that the government can no longer be there as the last line of defense when things go wrong. The support programs will be in place and that will be it," says Mr. Steck- le. "The budget reflects the reality of the times. It is good that Canadians will learn to do more for them- selves rather than rely on govern- ment support. It is the right time for such a budget." Other aspects covered by Mr. Martin's budget include a reduction of civil servant jobs by 45,000 over the next three years, the closing of some military bases, increased taxes to banks and corporations and the closing of tax loopholes for the wealthy. Transfer payments to the provinces will be converted to block funding, allowing the provinces more control over how the money is spent, though there will be reductions in the amount.
