It's as simple as that. go Lorraine Devereaux, as the new nutritionist for the counties of Huron and Perth, can refer, extensively to Nutrition Canada data and says that Canada is a country lacking in good nutritional habits,. , not because the proper foods aren't available but because there is a lack of general education about the proper foods. There are so many food products on the market says Devereaux, that food purchasing and con- sumption becomes too complicated. People become confused and just don't seem to know what to buy, feels Devereaux. She would remind people that there are four basic food groups to be included in every meal. These groups include breads and cereals, milk, meat and alternates and fruit and vegetables. Devereaux has been on the job for about two weeks now and is busy getting organized. She is dividing her time between the -two counties, spending alternate 'weeks at the -health unit in Goderich and the health unit in Stratford. She is married, has a baby boy and lives in • Seaforth. After graduating from the University of Western Ontario with her • B.A. and majoring in nutrition, she spent a year of internship at Surinybrook Medical Centre in Toronto. She worked as a therapeutic dietitian at St. Joseph's Hospital in London for two years. Devereaux says her. job in Huron -Perth will primarily involve her as a resource person for public health nurses, doctors, dentists and the general public. She says she will be treating good nutrition as a factor in disease prevention. There is an important distinction • Walton Feed •Mill rece'ves award ' Walton Feed Mill of Walton, Ontario was presented with a special award by the SHUR- GAIN Division of Canada Palckers Limited recently for a sample of feed manulfac- tured in their mill. Tis award was based on a Feed, Texture Competition among all SHUR-GAIN Feed Service mill operators in Ontario. Results were an- nounced•at the Annual SHUR- GAIN Dealers' Conference at the Victorian Inn in Stratford recently. - Eric Reaburn acceptedthe • award on behalf of Walton, Peed Mill from Ontario 'Nutrition' Manager, Abbott. between her job as a nutritionist and a dietitian's job in that a dietitian works with people who already have a disease while she tries to prevent a disease before it happens. Preventive medicine is very difficult according to Devereaux. People, she says, don't have the ability to grasp the concept of risk. ."They always feel it won't happen to me," she states. "It's human nature near to worry about your health until you don't have it." ' ' Devereaux says some people do not think having a nutritionist in the two counties is important. But she feels there is an important need for one and thinks she has her work cut out for her. She figures it could take about a year before her research files are well orlganized enough so that information is always right at her fingertips. Whatever problem she can't help someone with directly, . she wants to be able to research it or refer it to someone who can help. She hopes to have films about nutrition for people to borrow as well as good hand out material. She wants to have easily accessible in- formation for teachers and public -,health nurses to aid them with any classes they might teach concerning nu'tritior5" She also wants to set up programs in high school and public school curriculums involving posters, pamphlets and kits on nutrition. For awhile she will be experimenting to see what goes over best with the public and the various other groups she will be working with. 'Devereaux feels that mothers are a key group to reach about good nutrition because through their meal planning and cooking, the whole faxnily's health is often dependent. She says it is important to teach people about nutrition when they are motivated to listen and learn, for example, mothers with 'SOP new born babies. It is im- portant for mothers not to overfeed their infants in the first year of life, says Devereaux, because this can lead to obesity. While pregnant mothers are slightly better nourished than other groups of people in Canada, Devereaux says there is still - a problem because good nutritional stores should happen ' even before con- ception but they -often don't: Eating habits are im- portant in pre-schoolers and on into public school and high school ages, says Devereaux. One ageegroup she worries about are teenage girls who she says are a very image conscious group .' and therefore prone to harmful fad diets.. She labels teenage girls as a high risk group and pregnant teenagers as an even greater risk group. Men of all „ages are also a risk group. Whether it is a case of heredity, stress, jife style or eating habits, more and more often there are cases of men who seem perfectly healthy one minute and who die of coronary disease the next, says Devereaux. Of eating habits, Devereaux says Canadiansin general eat too much protein and fat, don't drink enough milk and keep their fruit and vegetable consumption too low. The elderly, says Devereaux, are the most malnourished age group of any. They don't just get like that all of a sudden because they're old, she says. Rather it is an accumulation of bad eating habits and life style over the years. As the nutritionist for Huron and Perth counties, Devereaux will " practise preventive medicine. She hopes to jump into problem situations before diseases happen, including self- imposed diseases such . as obesity. As a nutritionist she must adhere to the adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a•pound of cure."'
