A Resource About Healthier Eating ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A new initiative, "Nutrition and the Family" promoted by the Metropolitan Life Foundation, is designed to raise the awareness of the importance of healthful eating to children's lifelong good health. One of the items prepared for this national information campaign is a new free booklet, "How to Steer Your Family to Healthier Eating". The booklet makes it clear that if wholesome, and often simply prepared, foods are available at home, family members will eat them. The key to success is buying healthful food and keeping it within easy reach. A section of the booklet deals with how to stock a family kitchen and refrigerator and keep them organized. Foods with fiber and without too much fat are recommended. Snacks are given serious attention in the booklet, with some suggestions for those that are high in fiber, low in fat, and tasty. For a free copy write to "How to Steer Your Family to Healthier Eating", Health and Safety Education, Area 16-UV, MetLife, One Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. Please enclose a stamped, self-addressed business size envelope.
