(By Adrian Vos)
Sometimes people tell me
that pork is not as digestible as
other meats. Well folks it's all
in your rnind, for you are talk-
ing about old time pork. The
new lean pork is different.
Listen to John D. Lane of the
U.S. Meat Board. "Official
nutritive values for pork current-
ly used by government industry
and other scientists in nutrition
field were developed under a
Meat Board research grant back
in the late 1950's. Since them,
says Lane, industry has made
giant genetic and farm manage-
ment strides resulting in subst-
antial improvement in pork
eating quality and nutrition off-
ered to the consumer.
Today's pig has more meat on
it than even the "ideal" porkers
used in original research work
at Okla. State U. about 17 years
ago." Mind you, that's Americ-
an pork. Ours is considered to
be even better.
Dr. Usborne of the University
of Guelph gives some figures on
the quality of pork as compared
to other meats. Calories: pork,
310; beef 385; lamb 390. Prot-
ein; pork 25.9' beef 20.6; lamb
22.5. Fat (percent) pork 22.8;
beef 33.3; lamb 32.1; All
micro nutrients, as iron and
other minerals as well as vitam-
ins, compare favourable with
the other meats. So don't give
me that old argument anymore.
If you do, you are set in your
ways.
Now that I am on the subject
of pork I may as well tell you
now that pork producers are in
the same boat with beefinen.
We are lucky if we break even
on the cost of production. It
seems that farmers felt what
was coming and hold off from
great sudden production increases
If if had gone as in other years
when production increased
sharply when the price was high
livestock men would be in very
real trouble right now. It seems
more likely that we will be
choked slowly this time around.
Whatever the forecasters say,
(sometimes they sound like
fortune tellers) I am not very
optimistic about farm income
from livestock in the next year
or so. If I'm right, and I hope
not, I agree with Mr. Cracey
of the cattlemen that farmers
will go out of livestock product-
ion which will bring sky high
prices in a few years. That way
nobody wins, not the farmer,
nor the consumer.
TIDAY'S CHIL
BY HELEN ALLEN
Fred, 4, is.small for his age but healthy, lively and active. He
has dark hair, dancing brown eyes and olive skin.
Tiny at birth, Fred was diagnosed at three months as having
Pierre -Robin Syndrome. Children with this condition usually
have small mouths, cleft palates and very small chins.
Sometimes they are retarded.
Fred is not retarded. In fact he is considered 'an average child.
Though he had some early feeding difficulties, he did not need
an operation for his palate and he now eats whatever his foster
family is having. He will probably need orthodontic work later
because his jaws may riot be big enough for his second teeth,
though his baby teeth are fine as you can see in the picture. He
may also need speech therapy.
Fred is alert, quick to learn and well co-ordinated. He runs
and climbs with agility. He can turn somersaults and stand on
his head.
He is hyperactive and sometimes it is hard to slow him but he
will usually settle down if somebody will read him a story or
play records for him. He also likes drawing and coloring.
This young fellow will be a delight to parents who are young,
energetic and have lots of patience.
Since Fred is used to other children, he will probably do best
with brothers and sisters in his adoption home.
To inquire about adopting Fred, please write to Today's Child.
Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K.
Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please
contact your local Children's Aid Society.
