Eating The Right Way
For Your Heart's Sake
GLORIA KAUFER GREENE
Special to The Jewish News
I
n case you have been se-
questered and haven't
noticed any of the publici-
ty yet, February is national
heart month (a tie-in, I sup-
pose, with the "heart-warm-
ing" mid-February holiday).
At this time of year, the
American Heart Association
works especially hard to press
hOme its important message:
that diet and exercise can
have an effect on the inci-
dence and severity of heart
disease.
You know all about that,
you say. You've been cooking
with monosaturated or poly-
unsaturated oils, and your
family is eating oatmeal for
breakfast on a regular basis,
along with plenty of apples,
pears, bananas and other
high fiber fruits. In fact,
you've even begun to add
dried beans to your casser-
oles:
Well, you're definitely on
the right track. But what
happens when you go out for
dinner? Do you throw caution
to the wind? After all, you
don't eat out that often and
you want to enjoy yourself,
right? Besides, you don't even
have heart disease . . . yet.
It shouldn't be necessary to
abandon your improved eat-
ing habits just because you're
in a restaurant. In fact, if
culinary establishments re-
spond to the latest demands
of patrons, soon you should be
able to find heart-healthy
meals that arejust as good (if
not better) than any artery-
clogging dish on the menu.
A Gallup survey done last
fall for the National Restau-
rant Association found that
about 60 percent of adult con-
sumers would like to see
table-service restaurants offer
a selection of nutritious
dishes. The problem is that
while a majority of consumers
insist that they want such
meals, past experience has
shown that a much smaller
percentage actually order
these choices when they are
available.
"Unfortunately, we tend to
see a difference between the
patron's attitude and actual
behavior," comments Claire
Regan, a staff nutritionist
with the National Restaurant
Association. In other words,
even though most of us are
very conscious of what we
should be eating, we don't
necessarily follow through
when it comes to restaurant
dining.
There are probably several
reasons for this inconsistency.
For instance, Regan points
out that people who occa-
sionally eat out at night for
social reasons tend to be
much less likely to order
nutritionally-improved meals
than those who regularly par-
take of restauant "business
lunches" during the week.
Another obstacle is the stig-
ma which may be attached to
heart-healthy choices; that is,
the expectation by patrons
that such selectins will taste
like bland "hospital food."
This is due in part to the poor
offerings provided by a few
restaurants which reluctant-
ly offer one or two "healthful"
platters more for the publici-
ty than to promote good
health.
Personally, I'll never forget
the time I requested such a
meal at a restaurant in Atlan-
tic City, N.J. Even though the
dinner was touted on colorful
cardboard "tents" that sat on
each table, the waitress was
obviously annoyed with my
choice because she had to
place a "special order." My
meal took 20 mintues longer
