Nutritional practices of home demonstration club members in Weakley County, Tennessee, are compared with those of nonmembers in this master's thesis. Marked differences appeared in the adequacy of breakfast; cooking vegetables only until tender; inclusion of Vitamin C once a day; following recommended principles of planning meals; buying "enriched" foods; food preparation and buying; and children receiving 4 glasses of milk daily. No significant differences appeared between members and nonmembers in getting vitamins from food sources rather than pills; cooking meats and proteins at low temperatures; including 2 servings from meat group each day; using vegetable oil in preparation; including green or yellow vegetables; and planning meals in advance. Differences between members and nonmemebrs were in sources of information about food preparation; number or sources of training, and having gardens. The hypothesis that there is no significant difference between home demonstration club members and nonmembers was rejected. (Author/RS)
