(News -Record photo) news ho m e news 1 Nutrition week coming to -Huron schools BY BEA McCLENAGHAN, HOME ECONOMIST, HURON COUNTY Today, many Canadians, young and old alike, are overweight and un- dernourished. This can be attributed to Canadians' sedentary lifestyle, ignorance of nutrition and failure to eat enough of ' the foods which provide the nutrients needed. As Canadians, we need to take a serious look at , our nutritional eating habits. Do you ever wonder why: the average four -person Canadian family spends $1,000 a year more on food than is required for nutritious and delicious eating; most Canadian adults are a cross between a cream puff and a ,jelly roll; Canadians spend about 38 per cent of their food dollar on meat and alternates - about 14 per cent more than is needed to meet protein requirements? As shocking as these Statements are, help is on the way to eliminate these problems for the youth. During Nutrition Week HURON 78 ni September 26 - 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY ATTENTION KNITTERS!

All schools in Huron County will be supplied with a "Nutrition Happenings Handbook of Ideas and Resources" prepared by the Ontario Ministry of Health. Teachers may use this to increase the nutritional awareness in classes from the kindergarten to the Grade 13 level. .. Every adult working with children has a responsibility to help prevent the present school-age population from growing up with the same misinformation, confusion and ignorance of nutritional health that characterizes their elders. Special programs scheduled for Nutrition Week include plannedactivities for all family members from the preschooler to dad. The following are some of the scheduled programs: a pre- school nutrition session at the Clinton nursery school; a discussion and demonstration program with a young mothers' group in Seaforth ; an all -grades -participating workshop at Turnberry Central School, 'Wingham; and a .program with the Belgrave Kinsmen Club. Parents, do you know what program will take place in your child's school during Nutrition Week? Why not check with your child's teacher? Teachers, have you referred to the handbook in your school for preparing a lesson in your classroom? As a -teacher, it is important for you to be aware that the eating patterns of your students affect their learning ability and behaviour. The fidgety, disinterested child could be exhibiting the signs of a "breakfast skipper". Your teaching efforts maye lost on a child too hungry/4o learn. It may be that teaching of good eating habits could be one of the most valuable contributions that you could make in preparing your student for life. The time to start on nutrition education is now.
