Nutrionists offer tips
on eating right, cheap
United Press International
LINCOLN, Neb. — How do
food and nutrition experts
stretch their own food dollars?
When Laurel Branen travels
with her family of five, she packs
a food cooler. Branen, an exten
sion food and nutnkion special
ist, also encourages weight con
trol and moderation in eating
among her three sons. She asks
if they want to eat because they
are actually hungry or because
they just like the taste of food.
Instructor Kathryn Ander
son keeps things simple. She
serves green beans, for instance,
instead of green beans with
mushroom soup or almonds and
butter.
Assistant Prof. Pat Espeland
avoids drinks when eating out
because “mixed drinks, wine
and beer have a greater percen
tage mark-up over the entree
and menu fare.”
These were among the tips
Harriet Kohn collected recently
from her colleagues at the Uni
versity of Nebraska Department
of Human Nutrition and Food
Service Management.
Others include:
•Substitute a cheaper ingre
dient — cabbage instead of bok
choy, for example, in Chinese
dishes.
•Buy fruit at varying stages
of ripeness to keep it from spoil
ing before you can eat it. When
you buy bananas, for instance,
choose some ripe, some partially
ripe and some green.
•Read ingredient lists. If two
brands of the same type food are
equal in price, buy the one with
the most expensive and nutri
tious ingredients listed first.
•Whenever possible, leave
the skins on fruit and vegetables.
•Pack afternoon snacks as
well as your lunch. Carry instant
coffee or tea bags and a vacuum
bottle.
•If you have a way of heating
food at work, take leftover cas
seroles and soups for lunch.
•Keep the contents of lunch
interesting and varied so you
won’t be tempted to eat lunch
out. Substitute leftover waffles,
say, for bread for sandwiches.
•Order a set meal when you
eat out. If coffee, tea and milk
are extra, drink water instead
and have your beverage at home
later.
•Split an order of food with a
companion. Many restaurants
will do this — and you can do it
yourself in self-service eateries.

He gets tornadoes on birthday

■ TULIA — Paul Davis claims
to have met Jack Dempsey and
President Warren G. Harding,
and he says he sipped tea in 1975
with then-Governor Ronald
Reagan. But those are not the
only memorable events in the
Vile of the 73-year-old retired
newsman.
Davis, who has worked for
newspapers in Amarillo, Fort
Worth, Wellington, Wichita
Falls, and Hollis, ORla,, has seen
eight or 10 tornadoes and iro
nically, on four separate occa
sions, he saw the twisters on his
birthday.
Born May 15, 1909, Davis
claims to have seen tornadoes on
May 15, 1929, 1937, 1949 and
1957. *
“I was coming out of Fort
Smith, Ark., going to Henryetta,
Okla., when I saw that one in
1929,” he said.
On his birthday in 1937,
Davis came within 100 yards of a
tornado near Lutie, ,a “wide
space in the road” between Wel
lington and Shamrock in the
Texas Panhandle. He said he
was working as a road paver
back then.
On the same day in 1949, he
witnessed a twister near Amar
illo. .. y
But it was May 15, 1957, that
Davis was in Silverton for the,
“granddaddy tornado of them
all,” which killed 22 and injured
80.
He said he was no more than
100 yards away f rom the twister.
Davis, said he, has learned to
respect the violent storms. After
moving to Tulia two years ago,
Davis said another tornado
struck nearby. But this time, it
was not on his birthday.
Still, he said he sometimes
wonders if “I’m safe to be
around people.”
