Meat industry asks why Cutting out fat is ‘in’ United Press International NEW YORK — The meat industry wants to know why people are cutting back on fat in their diets. “In the past we’ve been somewhat reluctant to address this issue†because of fear of implicating red meat, says Manly Molpus, of the American Meat Institute. Now, the AMI and a second trade group, the Na tional Livestock and Meat Board, are co-sponsoring a follow-up study to assess con sumer attitudes about this and related issues. The original study by, Yankelovich, Skelly and White was done two years ago to learn consumers’ attitudes toward meat in terms of diet, health and nutrition. “What we hope to find out (in the new study) is whether consumers’ concern over fat is related to calorie intake and staying thin or to health reasons,†Molpus said at a news conference in New York co-sponsored by the two trade associations. Until the verdict is in, mem bers of the two groups have What we hope to find out (in the new study) is whether consumers’ concern over fat is re lated to calorie intake and staying thin or to health reasons. — Manly Molpus, Amer ican Meat Institute suggestions for reducing fat intake: “Use a wine marinade for meats and reduce the oil to one or two spoonfuls,†said John Francis, director of the meat board’s merchandising department. “Wrap leftover roast in layers of paper towels before you refrigerate it,†said Kath leen Horner, consumer rela tions director for a Cincinnati meat packer. The towels will absorb the excess fat and what’s left on the surface can be scraped off before you re heat the meat. “I’m a corn-fed Iowa farm boy,†said Russ Sanders of Des Moines, director of consumer product marketing for the National Pork Producers Council. “I watch my number of helpings. “We do a lot of cooking out,†Sanders added. He uses a lot of vegetables when kebabs are the main course. Frances Jones Paddock, consumer affairs manager for an Oklahoma City meat pack er, said she does a lot of stir- fry cooking using only one or two teaspoons of fat. “And when I really need a reminder (to cut back) I wear a tight girdle,†she said. These were among 101 suggestions compiled by JoAnn Shurpit of Chicago and other members of the AMI Consumer Affairs Com mittee, magazine editors and authors. “Almost half the fat we con sume comes from vegetable oils, vegetable fats and but ter,†Ms. Shurpit said. She is home economics director for a Chicago-based food manu facturer. Her suggestions for reduc ing fat consumption from meat include: — Drain fat from ground beef after browning, then blot the meat on paper towels. — Stuff chops and poultry with grain or vegetable mix tures instead of fatty bread stuffings.

Invited to Houston by Rep. Jack Fields, R-Texas, to see the extent of layoffs first hand, Hodel said response recently for bids on leases in Alaska drew ab out 50 percent more than antici pated. “We take that as an encourag ing sign that the energy business is on the upswing,†he said. Fields, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, urged Hodel to push hard for energy independ ence and gas deregulation, which Fields said would help put Houstonians — 10 percent of whom are unemployed — back to work. “Houston is America’s ener gy capital,†Fields said. “In my own 8th District, half the work ers are employed by the energy industry. “U.S. energy independence — meaning full use of our re sources, not OPEC’s or anybody else’s — means jobs for our peo ple. Our local energy slowdown has created most of our unem ployment.†Kennedy declines Dallas visit offer United Press International DETROIT — Sen. Edward Kennedy has turned down a bid to address the United Auto Workers convention in Dallas next month because he doesn’t want to visit the city where his brother was assassinated 20 years ago, a newspaper reported Tuesday. UAW President Douglas Fraser told the Detroit Free Press Monday that the Mas sachusetts Democrat told him he has not set foot in Dallas since President John F. Kennedy was shot on Nov. 22, 1963. “He made a point of the fact that this year would be the 20th anniversary of the assassina tion,†Fraser said. Fraser said Kennedy did not indicate any ill feelings toward Texas or Dallas, but rather said that visiting Dallas would be a traumatic experience for him personally. The union has not decided on a replacement for Kennedy, Fraser said. Couple makes love in public on slide United Press International SAN ANTONIO — A couple of carnival workers who woke up any sleepyheads in the coun ty courthouse by making love in full view atop a giant slide won’t be sleeping, of doing anything else, up there again. The couple, who witnesses said had slept on the slide since it was assembled for the city’s 10- day Fiesta celebration, appa rently were unaware a crowd had gathered at the adjacent Be xar County Courthouse win dows to watch their encounter Monday about 8:45 a.m. As word spread through the courthouse, employees scram bled for choice spots in the win dows, cheering and applauding the amorous pair. When they finished, the woman dressed and slid down the slide to even more cheers. County Judge Albert Buste- mante was not amused when in formed of the atypical way to start the work day and ques tioned why no one called the sheriffs department, which is located in the same building. Carnival officials said the pair would no longer be allowed to sleep on the slide.
