FA MII.Y Times -Advocate, November 22, 1995 Page 7 Welfare diets don't meet nutritional standards EXETER - According to Christopher Sarlo, an ec- onomics professor at Ni - pissing University, it was possible last year for a single person on a so- cial assistance budget of $103 a month, or a little more than $25 per week, to meet the nutritional re- quirements of Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating. Local dietician Debra Stewart, who was asked to analyze the diets of Living on Less par- ticipants, who were put on a food budget of $23.25 for one week, (see page 6) determined their diets did not measure up to nutrition recommenda- tions. Although Bruce Shaw ate a• healthy breakfast each day in- cluding three good meals and in general shopped well according to UCW study interesting women of the Bible AILSA CRAIG - The Ailsa Craig United Church Women met in the Sunday School room for the November meeting with Wilma McIntosh in charge of the worship service, program and lunch. McIn- tosh used justice as the theme for the worship service. The first scripture was from Numbers chap- ter 27, the second scripture was taken from Luke chapter 18 and the third from Numbers chapter 36. The program was a bible study concerning interesting women of the Bible. They were Sarah, the first matriarch of the Hebrew peo- ple, Rebecca the second matriarch of the Jewish people, the queen of Sheba who wanted Solomon's wealth, Miriam the sister of Moses and Aaron, Delihah who tricked Samson into telling why he was so strong, Anna who worshipped God and never left the temple, Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, and Mary, Joanna and Susanna, women who had been healed by Jesus. Mary Sutherland presided for the business meeting. Donna Cox re- ported that the quilting group are working on crib quilts and have some for sale. Colleen Higgs of the community Outreach group had sent many cards. Jean Mcguire gave the archivist's report. During the time of fellowship Wilma served fruit bread and cheese with a cup of tea. The UCW will meet again on December 12 for the Christmas meeting which will • begin with a pot luck meal at 6:30 p.m. G We have great savings on our GOLD CHAIN & EARRINGS - Your Choice A 25% SAVINGI UST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS "We have the products that you want for the price that you want to pay" "P.S.

Also, she considered losing four pounds in one week to be too fast for healthy weight loss. Losing one pound a week is considered a healthy alternative. Stewart liked the fact Bob Bart ate plenty of fruit each day, had regular meals and made a wise choice by buying a whole chicken and using some of it for soup, which is both economical and healthy. Although he met the food guide's reconunendations for the meat and alternatives food group, he made high fat choices such as wieners, battered fish and meat pies. Bob's diet lacked fibre and he didr.'t eat balanced breakfasts or enough grain and milk products and veg- etables. Stewart recommended he choose baked or boiled potatoes with the skins left on since they contain more fibre and much less fat than french fries. Also, baked fish fillets instead of fried fish in batter is a wise lower fat choice. As for Donna Pridham, who shopped well according to the food guide, she ate a healthy, balanced lunch and dinner most days in- cluding a good variety of higher fi- bre, lower fat foods but she lacked in the milk area. She skipped• breakfast four out of five days and didn't eat enough grain products. Also, she used orange punch, which is not 100 per cent juice. For all Living on Less diet par- ticipants, Stewart recommended leafy green vegetables were needed for vitamin A and folic acid. Spin- ach, romaine lettuce or brussels sprouts would have been good choices. "Buy what is on sale in the pro- duce section or frozen green veg- etables," she advised. Nutrition Comments By Debra Stewart Note: Calorie consump- tion not assessed It may have been easier, in terms of budget, for the participants to eat the same foods each day or repeat foods at least two to three times but this did not enable them to eat a variety of foods which helps us obtain more than 50 nutrients our body needs each day. Most people have some staple foods in their kitchen and do not eat everything they buy each week V V V V V V V V V V V V V V Y Wee Country Treasures Five km South of Clinton on Hwy #4 (watch for signs) You Asked - We're Back Now Open Thurs., Fri., Sat. 12 - 5 pm until Christmas • Folk Art • Quilts • Fabric Crafts • Shadow Boxes • Country Shelves • Dolls • Dried Flowers • And more! 4 t 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 t V V V V V V Y V V V V V V V V • whereas the participants ate oily what they purchased that week. 1 realize this was the easiest way to calculate whether they ate $23.25 worth of food. These participants were able to eat according to the budget for one week without complaining but they did not meet the recommendations of Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating although some days they came close to meeting the healthy eating suggestions. With careful meal planning it may be possible to eat healthy on a budget of $23.25 per week but 1 would need to investigate further. I think it would be impossible to meet this budget if any meals were eaten out in restaurants or if a per- son purchased convenience foods regularly. (ie. frozen dinners, pre- pared cakes, pies, baked goods or any other treat foods than can be eaten .in moderation in a healthy diet.) A few more dollars each week would definitely help out in con- suming a healthy diet. Meat is an expensive part of eating and many 116 Canadians eat too much meat and protein. Two of the three par- ticipants met or exceeded the rec- ommendation for meat and al- ternatives, which is two to three servings a day. Some of the money spent on meat could have been used to boost the grain products or veg- etables and fruits food groups. All three participants bought only one litre of milk for the week, no cheese and a little yogurt. This amount would not meet Canada's Food Guide recommendations for two to four servings of milk prod- ucts each day. Milk is much less expensive when purchased in bags or in pow- dered form than in one litre cartons. A four litre bag of milk would be needed per week for a singe person if two glasses of milk are consumed each day. (I'm assuming milk is used to obtain calcium instead of yogurt, cheese or ice cream. These items are more expensive.) A four litre bag of milk is $3.49 and there- fore 87 cents per litre. A one litre carton of milk is $1.69 per litre and therefore twice the cost!
