CHOOSE NUTRITION NOW -- IT PAYS! There are two inescapable facts about food; 1) We all need to eat to survive and 2) we have to spend money to obtain food. We enjoy the tremen- dous selection of food in our marketplace. Sometimes though, it of- fers too much temptation and we don't shop wise- ly. Many of us are being especially careful with out budgets these days, because of the present economic situation. Have you asked yourself late- ly - "What should I give up, to save money on food?" Some people are concerned about whether or not they can afford a Bethesda - by Barbara Evans Bricks, bats, and beaugests sums up our Feb. meeting held at the home of Mrs. L. Meyers. The roll call was answered by reporting on a social issue we would like to see im- proved. The motto, 'perfection is not expected, but improve- ment is" fits right into this discussion. We learn facts on "how to complain effectively" first don't wait - do it before the meat goes rancid, be pleasantly persistant, make a per- sonal appearance and don't be unreasonable. Then we discovered some of the concerns of women particularly the organization Women for the Survial of Agri- culture. Ladies do you nutritious diet on a tight food budget. Nutritionists across Canada will be respon- ding to these concerns during Nutrition Month in 1983. Here are some of their suggestions to help you cope with food budgeting. Examine How you Feel About Food Budgeting; Your attitude towards spending your food dollar will deter- mine your success in get- ting the most for your money. Don't look at what you have to 'give up." Instead' focus on what you gain. For ex- ample, by "giving up" a large serving of meat, you gain nutritionally Reach WI have credit rating, do you know your bank manager - you can manage your own bus- iness. Let's write a letter to say thank you for a job well done, or a letter expressing your concern, be it porno- graphy, land tax, acid rain or the testing of the cruise missile. Let us all read to be informed and express an intelligent concern. From our bus- iness, please remember March 12th, 1983 our pot luck supper, 6:30 p.m. at the senior citizens room, a real fun night, March 30th at 1:30 p.m. an updating and inform- ation meeting at Lind- say. "Family Affairs" will be the subject of our next regular meeting, Wed. March 23 at the home of Mrs. L. Pogue. because you are eting better when you choose only 2 servings from the meat and alternate group (that's a total of 4-6 oz. of meat per day). Take Stock of Your Eating Habits; Often our food choices are made automatically. We may not even consider cost of nutrition before buying familiar foods. Becom- ing aware of your pre- sent eating style, will provide a starting point for planning future changes. For example, how often do you buy soft drinks, cakes, cookies and snack foods such as potato chips? These foods add to the grocery bill, but contribute very little nutrition to your diet. Are you in the habit of including meat at every supper? Would you con- sider serving eggs, cheese or beans as an alternate source of pro- tein? Nutritionally, there is little difference in pro- tein value. Yet the cost savings are substantial, and you'd have that money available to spend on other foods. How many pre- prepared meals a week do you buy? Remember, you're paying more for food that someone else has sliced, seasoned or cooked. Keep track of how often you eat out and how many '"'packaged" meals you buy in the next week. You might be sur- prised at where your money goes. Why not "pay" yourself by mak- ing it yourself? Is A Nutritious Diet Expensive? There are Nestleton, Caesarea (From page 13) Rev. Dale Davis presen- ting a splendid sermon re- "Honour Your Father and Mother."

Sympathy Sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Wallace Marlow of Blackstock - a well known : citizen throughout Cartwright and he will be missed by many relatives and friends. Sympathy is extended to the family. many ways in which you can choose foods and still have a nutritious diet. For example; % cup of cauliflower and '2 cup cabbage each represent one serving from the Fruit and Vegetable Group. Choosing one or the other will provide similar nutrients. The cost (especially in winter) however, is very different. (2 cup cab- bage costs about 3 cents, 2 cup cauliflower costs about 33 cents). In other words, your choices within each food group can be either very costly or very expensive.
