‘Doctors and nutritionists
agree that every noon lunch
should provide about one-
third of our daily food needs.
The packed lunch takes on
added significance if it is to
play its role as a meal, rather
than a midday snack.

Joan. Fielden, the Bakery
Council of Canada’s Nutrit-
ion Consultant says, ‘‘Extras
’ may be added of course—but
‘ this is the basic pattern for
the idela box lunch. Build the
lunch around hearty, tasty |
sandwiches. Choose from a
variety of enriched white,
whole wheat. or rye breads;
choose from a_ variety. of
appetizing fillings; add milk
to drink or. milk soup. or
- puddings; tuck in well
washed fresh fruit or a raw
vegetable; and. your meal's
compiete, ready to pack its
lunch-time punch!”*

‘One thing you might keep
in. mind is that frozen bread
_ (sliced. or “unsliced) is great
for making sandwiches.. It
slices easily, and keeps
fillings cool as it thaws in the

lunch

‘should be packed ‘still frozen,

‘ent carrying handle,

box. A home freezer
“can be a time and energy
saver when lunch box sand-
wiches are needed daily. A
quantity of different kinds of
sandwiches can be made at
the beginning of each week-

wrapped, labelled and frozen _

for storage until. lunch-

_ packing time.

Wrap sandwiches, individ-
ually for more efficient
freezing and thawing, and.
for easier packing. All
varieties of bread and rolls
freeze well—but avoid egg

fruits, vegetables and fruit
jellies in sandwich fillings for.

Now. is the time to attack
those pounds that stare you

stand on the scale or in front

‘Dieting is a big business.in

North America, and we've—

heard everything from the
grapefruit and egg diet, the
water diet,
man’s diet and, most recent-
ly, the total fast. All will work
to some extent if followed
faithfully, but then so will
most diets that reduce the
total daily calorie
below expenditure.

Most doctors and nutrit-
ionists are agreed, however,
that a simple dict which
includes sensible portions of
the four main food groups is
the healthiest and safest way
to reduce, and a weckly loss
of two pounds is, for most

people, the ideal goal.
