Despite the recent surge of publicity, she said most citizens remain skeptical and need to wake up to the problem. In hopes of setting an example for other organ izations to follow, Grun torad said her club is no longer. serving refresh ments at their meetings. ; She said Americans should recognize the pre- . occupation with food. "Our society is too food-oriented," she said. "For instance, students are always going out to get a pizza or ham burger." Ruth Moore, another club member, agreed, "What would you do at a party if no food was served?" she asked. If a hostess would sacrifice refreshments, Moore ; said, she could save her self money and protect her guests, from the dangers of overeating. n A healthy human being ' requires. only 50 grams of protein daily, Moore ex plained, but an average ;; American consumes twice that amount. "Hunger is rampant in a major part of the world's nations but the major probfemTm '.'therrtJrS.' . is overeat ing, j. not malnutri ' ticn,' shesaidf Kot Moore said that since Americans are consuming ; too much protein, they f could easily cut their., I weeWy .rcvemMo onlythree V days of meet. "Grain fed to cattle could then be fed directly to the people who need it," she said. "If the choice is not made freely by us to cut down on eating," Moore warned, "the choice will be forced on us by starv ing nations."

At Kodak, we started close to home. In Rochester, New York. We cut river pollution with . one of the most efficient industrial waste water treatment plants in the country. We cut air pollu tion with scrubbers, adsorbers and electrostatic precipitators. We helped set up a black enter prise program in downtown Rochester. Why? Helping to combat water pollution not . only benefits society but us as well as we need clean water to make film.
