Eating on the run! That’athe main reason many teen-agers say they don't eat properly. They are in too big a hurry to stop for a good meal. Dr. Evelyn Spindler of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Federal Extension Service recently interviewed 75 teenagers to find out why they didn't eat better.

They had only 30 minutes for lunch and sometimes meetings were crammed into the lunch period. They came home and had a quick snack after school, had to rush back before dinner for play practice, band rehearsal, football. After that, they ran out for a snack at the drug store or hamburger shop.
