Many teenagers short change themselves by skipping breakfast and by satisfying their hunger with snacks of insulBcient nutritional value.
The 4-H Foods-Nutrition program helps youngsters to get their nutritional money’s worth, observes the Cooperative Extension Service. More than 708,000 4-H Club boys and girls are enrolled in the program.
The necessity for the program is evidenced by nutritional studies showing that 4 out of 10 teenage boys, and 6 out of 10 teenage girls have poor diets.
Club members develop demonstrations which they present before groups and on TV showing how meals are planned around the four basic food groups:
Meat—including poultry, fish, eggs and other high-protein foods; milk and dairy products; vegetables and fruits; bread and cereals.
They learn why protein, minerals and vitamins are essential in their diets. They know that breakfast should furnish from one-fourth to one-third of the day’s food nutrients.
Projects are built around the interests and needs of individual club members. Some concentrate on balanced meal planning and cooking while others delve into the scientific aspects of nutrition. But whatever the subject matter, the 4-H’ers strive to do the very best Job possible so they can compete for annual awards.
Again this year General Foods Corporation, sponsor of the 4-H Foods-Nutrition program, will award six $500 scholarships to national winners. The state award winner will attend the National 4-H Club Congress at Chicago next fall. Medals will be presented to county champions. _ I
