Oh, nuts! Goobers slipping in popularity

WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Carter is slipping in the popularity polls
and peanuts aren't doing so well, either.
You remember peanuts. They were
on all the tongues in 1976 as dark horse
Carter vaulted to the presidency amid
a hail of peanut jokes, cartoons and
hoopla that made goobers a national
byword.
- ON INAUGURATION Day, a French
restaurant near the White House sold
peanut butter sandwiches for $10 with
parsley or $7.50 without.
But now, the bloom is off the legume.
Carter's peanut business is run by
trust. His mother, Lillian, recently told
some Denver school children she
doesn't eat them. and at capital
cocktail fests, they're down the table
with the potato chips. '
PEANUTS ARE even being doctored
to taste like almonds, pecans and

walnuts.
Economically, the industry was hur-
ting even in 1976, after leveling-off meat
prices, caused consumers to switch
back from protein-rich peanut butter to
steaks and chops.
Meat prices are up again, but so is
peanut butter. And other sticky
problems have emerged to help cause a
production drop of 29 million pounds in
1977, and the tend continues.
THE PROBLEMS:
-More Americans are dining out,
with few searching menus for peanut
butter sandwiches.
-Peanut butter is about 40 per cent
fat, causing calorie conscious dieters to
link it with chunkiness and middle age
spread.
Last, but not least, a declining bir-
thrate has resulted in a shortage of
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches'

best customers - children.
BUT PEANUTS are fighting back,
and that takes us to Tyrone, Pa., where
Flavored Nuts Inc., is removing the oil
from them and substituting essences of

almonds, pecans and walnuts. Millions
of pounds of the bogus nuts are sold an-
nually.
That's not exactly peanuts.
Also, the Georgia Peanut Growers
are flooding the nation's restaurants
with recipes for Southern style peanut
soup, peanut and sweet pea salad, and
peanut pie.
AND THE AGRICULTURE Depar-
tment is pushing peanuts abroad. Ex-
ports have leaped from 229,000 metric
tons in 1975to228,000 in 1977.
Japan is a new customer for
American-made peanut butter. There,
it is reprocessed into a creamier,
sweeter product to tempt Japanese
tastebuds. In Britain, along with a
heavy, American-backed advertising
campaign, U.S. goobers are being tur-
ned into peanut butter.
China grows nearly all the peanuts it
consumes, but there's one possible way
the markey may be opened slightly.
A peanut disguised to taste like that
Chinese favorite, the litchi nut?
