Dieting: Before the fact
By GAIL WIDMOYER Pick up a newspaper or magazine, visit a bookstore, or even stay home and watch television. No matter where Americans go, they are haunted by images of overweight companions who are trying or promoting some sort of a diet aide. Sounds of “Lose up to 25 pounds in 10 days,” “Less is beautiful,** “Lose weight without drugs'* and “Fast, effective, miraculous weight loss” echo each time the refrigerator is opened for an inbetween show snack. Why are Americans bombarded with the recurring theme of “Lose weight fast! ”? Because Americans are fat. According to University of Illinois nutritionist Timothy Lohman and energy specialist Bruce Hannon, if all Americans lost their excess pounds, there would be enough energy savings to fuel 900,000 cars for a full year Mrs. Jesse Beer hostess for Silver Thimbles Mrs. Jesse Beer was hostess to the Silver Thimble Club of the Milford Apostolic Christian Church Tuesday evening, Sept. 14. Mrs. Jerry Hostetler was cohostess. Guests were Mrs. Robert Cockbum. Mrs. Stanley Price. Mrs. John Lehman and Mrs. Richard Steffen. Mrs. Richard Stoller acted as president in the absence of Mrs Kenneth Beer. Mrs Hostetler and Mrs. Philip Price gave their report and “Thank You” notes were read. In other business Bibles will be placed in the church in honor of Anne Stieglitz. Lillian Custer and Andrew Kammerer. Also Mrs. Cockbum and Mrs Price will become members of the club and an auction sale will be held in March 1983. “Happy Birthday*’ was sung for the August birthday of Mrs. Arthur Haab and the September birthday of Mrs. Lee Beer. “Happy Anniversary" was sung for Mrs. Jesse Beer and Mrs. Haab for August anniversaries and Mrs. Price and Mrs. Steven Kaiser for September anniversaries. Mrs. Ned Speicher read “Admitting Need” and “His Yoke Is Easy, was sung by the members in unison. Refreshments of a frozen dessert was served from a table with autumn appointments.

The Problem Overweight people are a problem in American society, but should not be confused! with obese. Obesity is an extreml case of being overweight where the person concerned weighs 20 per cent more than the expected body weight. For example, a woman who’s ideal weight is 130 would have to be 26 pounds overweight before considered obese. A person who weighs 10 per cent more than expected body weight is considered overweight according to government standards and is a member of the 32 per cent of men or 36 per cent of women who are overweight in America. There are a variety of reasons why American people are overweight. Some blame it on glandular problems, others say they are fat because of a low metabolism, but no matter what the explanation is. the ultimate cause is people “eat too much and do too little,” said James P. Comer in a January 1981 issue of “Parents’* magazine. Comer is a professor of child psychology at Yale University and he conducted a study on the effects of obesity on children. He discovered “the teasing (of fat children) of early childhood is replaced by both unconscious and deliberate discrimination in social, school and work situations in the teen and later years.” In other words, fat children grow into fat teens who then grow into fat adults who must suffer because of physical appearance. Causes One reason Americans are noticeably overweight is the composition of their every day diet. According to “American Averages” by Mike Feinsilber and William B. Mead, the average American eats twice as much animal protein as he or she needs. Nutritionists suggest onethird of a daily recommended amount of protein come from animal sources while the remainder be supplied by vegetable sources. Approximately 60 to 80 per cent of Americans’ protein supply comes from animal sources.
B. J. Crowley's HOROSCOPE
Week of September 26.1982 LIBRA -- The Llbrau waste to be accepted. He la not a leoer. Happleet wbea la love. Good appearance te Important to those born under thfa sign. They usually want to make a good Imprm LIBRA - Sept. 23 to Oct. 22--Duty calls and you find yourself ready to serve. Get others to jump on the bandwagon with you. SCORPIO - Oct. 23 to Nov. 22--Work on personality improvement. You can be sincere without being brutally frank. Ask advice from qualified persons. SAGITTARIUS- Nov. 23 to Dec. 21-Associate with those who cheer you up. You don’t have to listen to the **aint*s it awful** theme. Happiness continues to be a state of mind. CAPRICORN-Dec. 22t0 Jan. 19--Happiness comes through when you keep your mind and hands busy. Begin a new project of making something with vour hands. AQUARIUS -- Jan. 20 to Feb. 18--Don*t make yourself unhappy with imaginary ills. A dental and physical checkup dispels all fears. Don’t worry about situations you have no control over. PISCES - Feb. 19 to March 20--An unexpected event puts an entirely new and happy slant on your life and future. Other pleasant surprises could lie ahead.
Another reason for the weight problem is a poor lifestyle. Too much fast food and sweets eaten at the wrong time of day to replace balanced meals coupled with not enough exercise accounts for a majority of. fat Americans. There is some evidence that fat can be hereditary, but no one is sure if fat is passed in the genes or passed on plates from parents to children. Anyone is susceptible to obesity but most people gain more weight between the ages of 25 and 44 which doesn’t mean most overweight people are between these ages. A young person under 25 who is already overweight can look forward to more years of an even fatter existence. No one “likes” to be fat and perhaps this is the reason Americans are surrounded by so many solutions for such a widespread problem. Available Solutions Diet aides can be attained by a variety of methods and are apparently popular because of the quantity of products available. There are basically four types of aides available few of which are inexpensive. They are: dietary supplements, diet and exercise programs, gadgets and dietary replacements Each aide can be purchashed from magazines, public businesses or private suppliers and most of them carry spectacular claims for “a new you.” “American Averages” reported diet experts say fewer than 10 per cent of the people who lose weight keep it off for more than two years and “even when the obese get down to a normal weight, they require fewer calories (to stay at the new weight) than other people their size.” A continued reduced caloric intake could be one reason people fail at diets. But there are also other reasons for a low success rate. A close examination of available diet aides will produce evidence as to why so few people are able to stay at a lower weight after they stop using the aide.
ARIES - March 21 to April 20-Don’t take dreams seriously. You have every right to feel hopeful about future developments. Make an effort to smile more. TAURUS - April 23 to May 20--Taking care of necessary chores makes you feel that there is no rest for the weary. Take heart! A more relaxed period can be expected. GEMINI - May 21 to June 20--Avoid those who irritate you. Try not to be too sensitive when someone makes an unkind remark. Consider the source. CANCER - June 21 to July 22--ls someone you love seems thoughtless. don*t give it a second thought. The situation is only temporary. LEO -- July 23 to Aug. 22-Be certain the goal you are striving to attain is really the one you want to pursue. Life is full of so many interesting things. VIRGO - Aug. 23 to Sept. 22-You can crowd into your day every thing you need to do with a little advanced planning, leaving more hours for leisure.
