    Eat Right Food, Nutrition and Health Tips from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Personalizing Your Plate To Include Foods from Other Cultures – Middle Eastern Cuisine The foods we eat are often influenced by our family’s history and culture. They’re also influenced by where we live, our budgets, and our tastes. Many cuisines feature dishes which include a variety of foods from all of the food groups. Fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. The combination of foods and amounts will depend on you. Personalize Your Plate by including foods that you prefer from each food group. Including a variety of foods can help you get all of the nutrients that are needed for good health. These tips can help you get started: • Fill half your plate with fruits and veggies. Get creative with produce by trying an assortment of colors and textures. • Experiment with different grains. Try substituting whole grains for refined grains in recipes. • Choose lean protein foods. Vary your choices to include beans, peas and lentils as well as eggs. If you eat meat, choose seafood and lean cuts of meat and poultry that are prepared in a healthful way, such as baked or grilled instead of fried. • Complete your meal with dairy. Include low-fat or fat-free options like milk, yogurt, cheese or calcium-fortified soymilk. A healthful eating style can be as unique as you! Meal Planning Tips Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated or boring. Think about the foods you like from each food group – mixed dishes count, too! These are just a few examples of how different foods can be eaten as a meal to personalize your plate.

  • My Name Is Bill Stadtlander and I Own a Small Company, Homestat Farm
    My name is Bill Stadtlander and I own a small company, Homestat Farm, which makes Maypo, Wheatena and Maltex – hot cereals which, as many mothers have said to their children, are good and good for you. Homestat Farm was formed in October 2001 when I purchased these brands, as well as G. Washington’s Seasoning and Broth, from ConAgra Grocery Products. My Company is located in Dublin, Ohio and we have a manufacturing facility in Highspire, PA. where our cereals are manufactured. We work with BCTGM Local 464. Homestat Farm is a small company. Our annual sales are $4,500,000 -- all in the United States -- with sales of $70,000 of Wheatena in California. We have 3 full-time employees and 3 part-time consultants in our Dublin office which are new jobs that were created when I bought the business. In our manufacturing facility, we have 2 full-time employees in administration and 10 full-time union employees. Although I am a small company, I pay a good wages to my employees, I pay 85% of their health insurance, and I have a pension plan for the union employees related to their years of service. I spent more than 25 years working for food and consumer product companies, many of those years making nutritious foods. I created Homestat Farm because I wanted to continue to offer (as my slogan says) “Healthy Nutrition for Those You Love”. I do not know how many on this committee had Wheatena growing up, but I did, and I did not want to see Wheatena disappear.

  • Why Whole Grains-Ppt Copy
    Why Whole Grains? All grains are seeds from the family of grasses and begin as whole grains. Healthy whole grains provide long lasting energy, fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. In every culture, you can trace indigenous grains to the sustenance and survival of people over the generations such as quinoa in Peru, millet in Africa, rice in China, and maize in the Americas. They were cultivated, harvested, and stored to be used daily along with other seasonal plants such as herbs, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Animal proteins were used sparingly. Often a particular grain was used in some combination with a legume. Composition of a whole grain: The whole grain consists of the bran, germ, and the endosperm. The bran is the outer shell that protects the seed; it contains fiber, B vitamins and trace minerals. The germ provides the nourishment for the seed; it contains antioxidants, vitamin E, and B vitamins. The endosperm provides energy; it is a source of carbohydrate and protein. There is a synergistic effect of eating all of the parts of the grain at the same time: the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The process of milling removes the fibrous bran and the nutrient dense germ leaving the starch-filled endosperm that is then ground into flour to make “refined grain” products. Whole Grains versus Refined Grains: All edible grains and grain products are processed. If they were not processed, the nutrient components of the grains would be poorly digested and absorbed. The level of processing determines how the whole grains affect health.
