AIDS destroys the body’s im

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.

Energy industry
on an upswing
United Press International
HOUSTON — Energy Sec
retary Donald Hodel told refin
ery workers the energy industry
is on an upswing.
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.
