Mulligan Stew - Countdown 4-4-3-2 (1972)

[Music] tomorrow dry tting [Music] f for you and tomorrow tomorrow [Music] tomorrow where do you think food will be grown tomorrow to help feed the world population well this is a very serious problem because you know we have three billion people in the world today and by the year 2000 we're going to have 6 billion and that means that we've got 30 years to duplicate our food production that's taken us centuries to develop and so this is where space is going to come in handy so there's really kinds of food and all kinds of places in in the country in the oceans and uh on the deserts provided you that you irrigate them and in in land that's that's not being farmed now because we don't know about it but the space program is going to help us find out hey there's some land down there we've taken pictures of it it's got the water it's got the climate go grow things on it we can put sensitive sensors on board a spacecraft that can look down at the land and can not only tell you whether the land is tillable but actually what kind of grops will'll grow there and we can search for water and for minerals and for oil from space we can do a lot of things from space that will help us grow [Music] food [Music] I'm mag I'm Mickey I'm Mike I'm Manny and I'm Mig and too every day our country and our world are growing here at the world population class we can see that our country is increasing at the rate of one new person every 8 and 1/2 seconds this means that every day there are 10,1 65 additional mes to feed 10,165 new people needing balanced diets to live and grow let's do that's 4 into 365 carry the eight 6,598 minutes plus 7.06 extra babies every minute more and more balanced diets mean that there has to be more and better sources of foods from all the four food groups more sources of food from the fruits and vegetable group more sources from the bread and cereal group more sources from the milk group and more sources from the meat group then times 365 days per year that's 1,460 servings from the fruits and vegetables group every year that's 1,460 servings from the bread and cereal group every year that's 1,95 serving from the nut group every year and 730 serving from the meat group every year how did you know that that's 432 every just a great day little batting practice maybe I work on my fast ball and then you add a can of tomatoes two weeks vacation right at the best time of the year we could go down to the lake and do some fishing that is if old Mr ARA will let us use a lake again like last year also hold up G either I'm seeing things or that's funest sight I've ever seen in a long time is that or isn't that wait man I don't believe it yep here he is did someone call my name Wilbert do right just what are you doing anyhow you look like you can barely stand up oh no I'm fine huh this is the way you're supposed to look when you go camping camping you of course you know kid beinging in the Great Outdoors communicating with Mother Nature roughing it like our forefathers you know kids it's where it's at who you can't be serious of course I am I am going to C kapoo that's why I came by here to ask if you would like to come along it would be great fun setting up 10 the latest camping equipment available for the way you load it up Wilbur I don't doubt it and we we we can gather natural specimens and go and go bird watching it'll be great fun who whole days me and nature Wilbert camping is sure a lot of fun but you have to do it right and carefully or you'll end up in a lot of trouble trouble me Wil do right what trouble could I get into I'm completely equipped for two whole days Al it feels like a you on my back Wilbur Mickey's right just be careful okay besides we couldn't come with you anyhow we planning to rehearse a couple of new songs for our next show sorry wber okay well then I'll see you in a few days when I return fully restored by the succulent BAL of Nature's soothing peace and quiet a new man refreshed by the confrontation with the basic natural elements sorely lacking in our congested tense Urban lives to again be one with nature camping beneath the arms of her tree sleeping on the mattress of her Earth saying to the Stars here I am here is mankind sometimes I think Wilbur is losing his marbl me too let's just hope Wilbur brings enough food and the kind that once boil on him well he says only going to be gone for 2 days what could possibly happen in just two days I don't know but let's just hope nothing happens for wber sake the time to produce fresh your tasting longer lasting more nutritious food for tomorrow is today scientist and farmers are working to improve and develop new varieties of fruits and vegetables through the use of improved farming equipment and techniques larger tastier and more nutritious fruits and vegetables are already available for the consumer with many more coming in the future like a nectarine a delicious fruit that farmers and scientists have developed by combining a peach and a plum it's got lots of vitamin A too cereal grains are being improved too and cereals themselves are being packed in F vitamins minerals and lots of other nutrients too all you add is fruit and milk and you'll have a nutritious meal anytime of the day very interesting but what have you got to drink there are substitutes for fruit drinks such as grapefruit and orange which are available today these artificial drinks contain no real fruit juices and come in powdered and Frozen form they're fortified with vitamins A and C and you just add water delicious and nutritious too in the important milk group there have been a lot of substitutions they may last longer and may be less expensive and more convenient take for example the widespread use of margarine for butter how about whipped cream for my dessert here try some of this oh thank you very interesting indeed there are also simulated substitutes in the meat group some are made from vegetable protein food products like simulated bacon made from soybeans in some parts of the country vegetable protein products are used in some processed Meats such as beef patties sausages and meatless ham Jee this is the best Thunder the storm is from very far away well that's why it's extra great that we decided to cook up our positively super favorite special dick the the Mullan stew boy it sure looks good it smells good too it's that combination of good nutritious ingredients which we put mugan to right on Mickey right on Manny the radio said it was over the natural Forest natural Forest they also jeez natural Forest are you thinking what I'm thinking I sure I am WI that's right Wilbur's camping in the forest in the storm all by himself alone let's turn on the radio maybe there's a late weather forecast I got and Bobby Rogers was trainer to Cleveland along with outfielder shy ISAC and now the weather let's listen to the weather report the storm that hit the natural Forest today still is Raging on with rain rain and more rain expected many areas will be sealed off from relief and supplies because of flash flooding flash flooding flash flooding my who it guys hardest at the recreation area camp kapoo but this is Camp kapoo oh [Music] no oh no and now back to the local scene the local SC we got to do something about Wilbur but what they said that no one can get in or out of there that's right and Wilbur doesn't have enough food to last him the whole week he may have to stay there no food wow what do we do well first of all we've got to find a way to get food into Wilbur hey I can go to the airport check what the helicopter P there he can help us great Manny good thinking then we got to find out what foods to send him foods that last and will be easy to pack together foods to last will worth two weeks if necessary and Bey to even for Wilbur he'll need foods from all the four food groups to give his body the necessary nutrition he needs and that's exactly our problem food that won't spoil that'll be nutritious and that'll take up a small amount of room so that we can send wilbo lots of it I'll get the helicopter what are we waiting for gang let's go hey but what about the dessert this oh I'm so hungry [Music] everybody carbohydrates and F everybody's [Music] minerals our and everybody's every [Music] living [Music] and's needs mineral everybody has to know [Music] knowes try it everybody's cares [Music] andbody know that [Music] everybody today we are developing new me to getting food from the sea scientists using new underwater equipment are harvesting foods and fish from the sea just as the farmers raise and harvest their crops and livestock here on dry land so just as Farmers engage in agriculture sea Farmers engage in aquaculture simple seaweed will be an important food source of the future seaweed is surprisingly high in nutritional value and has all the essential vitamins except vitamin C and is high in potassium and iodide fish has just as much protein as meat baby and protein makes you look and feel strong and cool fish has become increasingly important as a present and future nutritious food source and with modern fishing boats sea farmers will be able to harvest vast ranches of fish Beneath the Sea ranches you mean with Cowboys and horses that's quite with horses but there will be giant fish farms with vast herds of fish the sea ranchers may use train corpuses and dolphins to lead the herds of fish just as sheep farmers use big furry sheep dogs right on Sal taken from the seawater and huge water processing plants and then pumps of deserts and dry ples producing fruits grains and vegetables where nothing is ever grown before more land means more crops providing us with fruit and vegetables grain and protein sources meat animals are being red to produce more lean meat more lean meat means cost savings for better food cross breeding and other techniques will produce more and better tasting meat meat gives us protein to make our body strong and [Music] healthy they'll be able to tell us about the kind of diets they feed to the astronauts right and we'll be able to find out how they manage to pack so much food for the long space lights in such a small capsule right and at the same time make it good tasting and nutrition too that's exactly what we're going to need to help Wilbur well you being cleared to see the space FL food expert it's located ining thank thank you so you see Dr Smith we thought that some of the problems that you have to solve in planning the menu for the astronauts might help us well actually I guess our problems are quite similar in that uh our food has to be extremely lightweight and has to be stowed in small volume and uh highly nutritious and easy to consume without a lot of preparation a lot of time involved so actually I guess some of our problems are similar we have one problem that you wouldn't have and that's weightlessness because we have to everything we design must uh go into a going to be flown in orbital flight and there there's no gravity to hold the food to the plate or to the spoon or uh so we have to design special packages to Ure that the food can be consumed without the floating around and getting into the equipment do the as choose from a large variety of food well yes actually we have about 120 foods that they choose from we'll show you how how we go about this and how they select their Foods here but primarily we try to determine what the astronauts basic food habits are we talk to their wives we uh much in the manner that we'll go through here today we go through a and let them eat the food and find out what they like and dislike and then uh develop a menu that is nutritionally balanced and will provide them with the necessary nutrients for a specific Mission how are the astronauts Foods prepared and packaged this varies with the mission of course uh in Apollo we uh dehydrate almost all of the foods to reduce the weight and make them shelf stable without Refrigeration use a flexible package so that it can Stow uh food items in small crevices and very small Limited volume where can we find Foods um similar to those found at Nasa on the space station well course we try to use foods that are very much like what the astronauts are used to so many of our items are uh right on the grocery shelves of freeze-dried soups dried beef fruit juices and beverage powders that are available in the grocery store and we adapt a lot of them some of them we do not adapt it's only with a special type of packaging that we might put on it there quite a a large number of the items that we use that are everybody's grocery store thanks a whole lot we really enjoy it we really like it okay it's been a pleasure so that's our problem W's in the forest somewhere and we got to get food to them food there have to last for 2 weeks but my cop can't carry that much food don't worry about that we already finding food that take up a small amount of space and still be nutritious okay I'll be ready to go as soon as you give me the word Roger I'm sure glad we met those food experts what they told us helped us buy food for Wilbur that are small and compactly packaged we've got food from each of the four food groups like dry milk and pudding from the milk group and dry apricots and peaches from the fruit and vegetable group we've got processed Meats made with vegetable proteins added like hot dogs sausages and others right on how about the bread and cereal group we've got that covered too with enriched cereals and breads straight from the supermarket we even have some peanut butter for Wilbur let's get back to the clubhouse and help the boys pack the foods all together so that they can get it to the helicopter [Applause] pilot over here M straighten that out a bit I got you first let me untangle this road hey here come the girls with some more food wow it sure looks great boy we going to be happy please hurry someone I'm I'm so hungry I can eat the sandwich Island okay let's get it all together [Music] ready well gang we did it let's take it down to the helicopter there's enough foot in it'll last will 2 weeks if necessary it represents a Balan Di and it's so simple to prepare even wil have any trouble well guys what are we waiting for Hey where's [Music] Maggie I made a couple of passes over the area and I think I spotted you sure yeah he was walking around in a circle holding his stomach like he was real hungry that's will all right okay I'll let you know how I make out I could eat a tree Bo sandwich stuffed with Oak with a side of sandion my kingdom for a mango a helicopter come to save me help here throw me some food anything a bagel anything nutritious the helicopter is dropping me a package [Music] now let's see that's four servings from the bread and cereal group and that's four servings a day from the fruit and vegetable group three servings a day from the milk group and two servings a day from the meat group now for my repast but [Music] first [Music] thank you migan you you need four servings every day from the Breads and cereals group four servings from the fruits and vegetables group three servings ing from the milk group and two servings from the meat group that's 4432 milk group meat group fruit and vegetables group Cals group [Music] [Applause] diet well I learned my lesson always be prepared a good planner and a good tamper a sit in time save nine early to bed and early to rise wilb to look to the Future for nutritious good food I'll make sure I always have foods from the four food groups so that even if I'm stranded I'll have a balanced diet and make sure you take enough food just in case there's no problem after now they have dehydrated foods and freeze dry Foods oh heck I know all that stuff after all I'm an advanced tamper well uh not exactly an advanced [Music] tamper tell you how it's going to be tomorrow [Music] Thea [Music] tomorrow we will find new forms of food [Music] tomorrow [Music] tomorrow tomorrow you know [Music] us [Music] and [Music] tomor move TRS Andes more nutritious food [Music] tomorrow how it's
