SEPTEMBER 7 , 1972 TERRACE BAY NEWS ADELAIDE DANIELS SAYS WHY ARE YOU FAT? Have you tried dieting and decided that you're the only one in the world with your own set of problems? Take heart: The fact of the matter is that you're a Canadian resident and just like three out of seven Canadians -- over- weight. We're the third heaviest nation in the world and over- weight is one of our major health problems. I think that at some time in life practically every Canadian will have a weight problem. Most of your friends who aren't overweight will be, sooner or later. So, if you learn how to lick it now, you're well ahead of the game. Why are we fat? My feeling is with all the machines (cars, aeroplanes and trains) moving faster, we move less. Living has changed from being rural and active to being urban and sedentary. We spend hours sitting whether it's at a desk or watching television and chances are we ride not walk most places we're going. But our cooking and recipes are still the recipes from the strenuous early days, when people were more active, worked more physically and only sat down at mealtime and occasion- ly before they went to bed. So today many of us are still eating the wrong foods such as fat meats with gravy, hot breads loaded with butter, potatoes with more butter, fats and sugars of all kinds into and onto everything we eat from cream soups to doughnuts. Women often make heroic efforts to diet but when it comes to feeding their families they tend to follow the cooking habits of their mothers. They feel that using a sugar substitute or omitting butter in cooking is not good enough for their hus- bands and children. In planning menus and preparing meals, remember that if your children and husband are not overweight now, they may be sooner or later if you insist on developing food habits in them that will addict them to rich creamy sweet foods loaded with carbohydrates and fats. The reverse is actually true. By keeping meals simple for your- self you also do the family a favour. The solution is to teach them how good foods taste when they're simply cooked and served without excessive amounts of sugar and fat, (Adelaide Daniels is Founder & Director of Weight Watchers of Ontario Limited.)

My sin has trimmed his dangling locks, Has cut them all, let fall, And all because of what he termed "The cruelest words of all."
