Nutritional Ambitions, Nutritional Worries
E.coli turns up in a healthy food like spinach, and a few hundred people fall ill. Had such bacteria contaminated the nation’s doughnut supply, casualties might have numbered in the millions. Meanwhile, a Good Housekeeping poll indicates the degree to which women see junk food as a menace to public health, and particularly to kids. Sixty-four percent favor banning the sale of junk food in schools; 35 percent back a ban on advertising junk food to kids; 57 percent believe “food companies should create better-tasting, low-sugar, low-fat, high-nutrition foods and beverages.” With its enumeration of dietary changes respondents would like to make at home, though, the chart indicates they aren’t doing so well at handling the nutritional choices that lie within their control. Elsewhere in the poll, women were given a list of food related concerns and asked to say which they worry about. Growth hormones in livestock got the highest “am concerned about” vote (77%), with antibiotics in livestock the runner up (61%). Fifty-nine percent said they worry about bio-engineered foods. Fewer fret about artificial sweeteners (46%), preservatives (43%) or artificial flavors (40%).
