Fishman, himself, won five awards in the competition. How many hours a week are you at the radio station? "I have two class periods here, roughly three hours. I usually spend my lunch hour here, too. I typically have to come in about two more hours a week. I play "oldies" every Thursday from 3-5 p.m. If we have remote broadcasts such as basketball games, I do that as well." integrated What are your plans for the future? "I want to go into broad- cast journalism. My No. 1 choice for college is Syracuse University. I've been doing a lot of job shadowing but, so far I haven't decided between radio and television."

Can you explain how a vegetar- ian diet can provide complete protein? I'm Curious. nswer: Dear Curious, Foods originating from both plants and animals provide rich sources of protein in the typical American diet. Un- derstanding how protein fits into your diet will allow you to set correct nutritional parameters. A "complete" protein is defined as a food that has all of the essen- tial amino acids in relatively the same amounts that humans -;,_ require. Animal proteins i (meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, and milk) are gener- ally considered "com- plete" proteins. Many 4 plant proteins are low / in one or more of the essential amino acids V and are defined (not surprisingly) as "incom- plete" proteins. ) e / Since different plant pro- teins vary in their "limit- ing" amino acids, diets rich in a variety of grains, legumes, seeds, nuts, and vegetables will tend to offset any particular amino acid deficiency — this is also known as "protein complimenting."
