assured of good future hours of the day but like he's going to get some exercise too and there's something else waiting to help start the day yes life really begins with breakfast but regardless of how good the all important morning meal it can't possibly supply all the nutriment required for an entire day now just what do we mean by good food food that tastes good of course and much more important food that's good for us certain foods are essential we must have them daily for the sake of Health H someone must have an appetite but don't worry this collection of food is not for a single meal it represents the groups of foods that are needed for the whole day meat cheese fish poultry vegetables green and yellow fruits two or more servings daily at least one raw citrus fruit or tomato often and eggs 3 to five a week but one a day preferred cereal and bread Rich golden butter and milk to drink combined with other Foods in ice cream and in cheese but at least one quart of milk a day every day for fast growing Young people more than a quart for adults at least a pint yes sir this is really a day's good eating and I mean good eating for it's important that we enjoy our meals eating should be fun part of the enjoyment can come from having these Foods prepared in our favorite ways and grouped in meals as we like them best the essential thing is to include all the nutrients needed daily by choosing from these types of foods let's have a quick look at three typical meals breakfast for the average person first an orange that checks off your citrus fruit then an egg and two slices of piping hot toast if you an adult you may want a cup of coffee and lunch for Mr average citizen a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich with crisp coal SLA and a juicy baked apple for dessert all good foods to help meet daily requirements then dinner steak baked potato green peas a lettuce salad with a tasty dressing and a fresh homemade roll still more foods that taste good and are good for you surely these three meals fill all nutritional requirements or do they let's check them against this ch chart the bars represent the different food factors such as vitamins and minerals in the amounts needed by a person for a day let's see how the three meals rate uhoh each bar would be orange all the way across if the meals were complete obviously something's missing let's try adding some dairy products some butter for that toast and how about some butter for that sandwich now some cheese the baked potato calls for butter and so do the peas in the roll let's choose ice cream for the dinner dessert and of course a glass of milk with every meal now what does the chart show what a difference by including enough milk and milk products in each meal we reached the goal 100% of each of the food factors needed for help might try checking up on your own meals so whenever you eat wherever you eat whether it be one of the three regular meals such as a well balanced school lunch or a quick pickup like this happy lad is enjoying or perhaps an enticing homemade milkshake and a toasted cheese sandwich on an after a DAT rate of the ice box whenever you eat eat smartly young people need plenty of food the right kinds of food for good food means good health for zest in working for Spirit In Playing for ability to accomplish your aims and Ambitions for the manifestation of your hopes and dreams and desires good food today and every day is tomorrow's Harvest a harvest of energy and accomplishment a harvest of health happiness and zestful living [Music] oh
