Friday, May 7, 1976 Newhall Signal Saugus Enterprise 5 Ethnic Eating Animals At The Shelter Two HundlrQcl Ygofs Off Food From Evrywhr The diverse food heritage which Americans en joy today is due to the influence of many ethnic groups. In 1776, as now, there were vast differences in what families ate in different parts of the colonies, according to an article irt the March issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. The article, "Feeding Families and Children 1776 to 1976," by Dr. Miriam E. Lowenberg and Betty L.

Lucas, gives credit for our dietary heritage to a wide range of cultures, ranging from the American Indian to the French epicurean. In early New England, even after the Revolution, most people in rural areas raised their own food, buying only salt. The earliest grocery stores were founded, for selling spices, tea, coffee, and with garlic, basil, saffron, and hot mustard. When the pioneer families began moving west, they depended on the jolting cf the wagons to help raise bread dough and churn butter. When on the trails, frontiersmen carried in their pockets a "veal glew" pre-" pared by their wives and Undoubtedly a forerunner of either dried soups or boullion cubes.

Corn was the primary" crop of the Southwest Indians, while the Mexican-Americans added such foods as frijoles, tortillas, chocolate, and hot chiles to the American 7 There is little information on how and what children ate in the early years of the country, but it can be assumed that they were considered of secondary importance since writers and waffles to the American diet and the Germans introduced coleslaw, knock-wurst, hamburgers, and frankfurters. Pork was the main meat of the Southern chicken and fish were also popular. Southerner Thomas Jefferson introduced ice cream to the White House and probably was the first to serve french fried potatoes with beef steak. Martin Van Buren complained that Jefferson used public money to raise strawberries, raspberries, and cauliflower for his table. The Creoles, a mixture of Spanish and French ancestry, were another group whose food preferences influenced American diets.

Creole cooks introduced gumbo, tomatoes with okra, and new ways of seasoning sugar. Today, in contrast, only seven percent of the population produces food for the entire country and the average supermarket carries 8000 items. Salt was most important to the early colonists, as it was used not only for flavoring, but also for preserving food. Wild game and fish were in early New England. Beef was available only when cows had outlived their usefulness.

Sheep were used only for wool and chickens usually only foitfeggs. Leafy green vegetables were believed to have little nutritive value. Vegetables such as carrots, cabbages, parsnips, and turnips were popular because they could be stored during the winter. The New York Dutch added doughnuts, crullers, mention their being seated "below the salt." Often, at company meals, children ate in the kitchen. Two centuries ago, colonial children were often victims of scurvy, rickets, and epidemics.

Today, the major nutritional dis orders of children are "obesity; dental caries7and iron deficiency anemia. To prevent nutritional disorders in both children and adults, the California Dietetic Association recommends daily selections from each of the Four Food Groups (milk, meat, vegetables and fruits, and breads and cereals). That's two servings from the- milk group (children need three' and teenagers four), two servings from the meat group, four from the vegetables and fruits group, and four from the breads and Cereals group.
