Food Advice For Travelers —
Kef ping your family woll-fed may
be your biggest vacation problem.
Here's seme, food advice for
travelers. -
Include lots of fruit, vegetables,
meat, eggs, and milk in your diet.
Try to advoid fat or fried foods
and sweeti, such as too many toft
drinks, randy, cookies, and iee
cream. These foods may not be
harmful at home in moderation,
but it’s easy to cat too many on
a trip. They may cause you to
omit other necessary foods. Eat-
ing weil-bs lanced meals will do
more than anything ease to pre-
vent car sickness and other com-
mon problems of travelers.
To select a: safe, sanitary
restaurant, you should watch
where local people’ eat or follow
the recommendation of travel
authorities. Eating places within
a large city usually are under
more strict, sanitary control than
those outside city limits.
Other important - suggestions:
Drink only pasteurized milk.
Avoid creamed foods
potato salad,
pies for
poisoning
