William Warren mr. Warren never in the history of our nation has there been greater need for all Americans to be strong healthy and vigorously able to perform the heroic tasks which all of us now face with millions of our young people now wearing our uniforms and fighting our battles for freedom from oppression and it is our duty to keep them supplied wherever they are and to keep this country the great free land of abundance and opportunity they want to come home to we are engaged in the greatest job ever undertaken by any nation it is not a job for weaklings we must have iron and steel in unlimited quantities and ships of all kinds millions of feet of lumber for now and later our great manufacturing plants must be kept running day and night and when this war is over these plants must be quickly reconverted to our peacetime needs to supply the millions of worn-out items we're waiting to buy our biggest job is only beginning to get this job done we must eat properly so that we have the help the strength the energy and the stamina to do it proper eating is very simple and should be within the reach of everyone it is certainly something everyone can do something about every day it just means eating the right food in the proper amount at regular times proper eating is the difference between full vital disease resisting strength and weakness [Music] basically the foods are divided into seven groups number one is green and yellow vegetables some to be in raw some cooked the second group includes citrus fruits and salad greens there are many in this group but if they're scarce alternates may be used the third group is probably the biggest group of all many may be used as seasonal alternates for group 2 group 4 consists of nature's most complete food milk and its products group 5 offers an almost endless variety this group provides the protein for the main dish around which most meals are planned in number 6 are breads and cereals made from natural whole grain or enriched or restored with much of the grains natural goodness in number 7 their butter and fortified margaritas and other fats containing one of the vitamins essential to good health I've been able to get many publications on the subject of foods we need for good nutrition their selection and preparation they are available to everyone free to the state and local nutrition committees there is an abundance of food being produced in America but our needs are so great that we must make it go thread and do more we must practice conservation we must become not a wasteful but a frugal nation selecting foods wisely from their basic groups and preparing them properly so that none of our wholesomeness and goodness is lost or wasted the right foods promote growth and development and repair wasted tissues by eating three good meals a day built around the basic seven groups of foods everyone can practice good nutrition in our great industrial and manufacturing plants more and more attention is being given to the rooms of sound nutrition our schoolchildren the men and women of tomorrow are forming their eating habits through basically sound instruction in good nutrition our great athletes and athletic teams know the importance of eating properly from the beginning of their training they have been aware that the cornerstone of their ability and performance depends upon the foods they eat and of course one of the big reasons our fighting men have been invincible is the fact that they are fed right they should be so must we all we must adapt our food and eating habits towards maintain good nutrition by selecting wisely and eating regularly every day tomorrow eat a good breakfast to start a good day thank you sure that's what I was doing today making it recording to the radio program you know I think you and bill the smartest little people I have ever known I'm proud of both of you we think it was mean of you and daddy not to tell us don't we children but you still only get a piece of the star because you missed your breakfast well sir I'll bet you that I get a whole star and I'm going to eat every time you do [Music]
