Series Description
In twenty-two episodes, Dr. Dena Cederquist, internationally recognized authority on nutrition, goes from appetizers to zabaglione (a delicious and fattening Italian dessert), pointing out some little-known but fascinating and important facts about the food we eat - or don't eat. This series deals with nutrition. It explains how foods sustain life, how different kinds of foods produce different effects, and how the housewife can plan meals that are nutritious, economical, and yet delicious. But Food For Life will interest not only the housewife; it also will give her husband and children some valuable tips about midnight snacks and picnic lunches. Dr. Cederquist illustrates her lecture with demonstration, laboratory experiments, charts, and diagrams, and, of course, present some sample meals. Dr. Dena Cederquist, the host for this series, has been head of the department of foods and nutrition in Michigan State University's College of Home Economics since 1956. She joined the Michigan State faculty in 1944. Dr. Cederquist is a member of various dietetic and nutritional societies, and has worked closely with the US Department of Agriculture. She also is the author of many scientific articles on nutrition. This series was produced by WMSB, East Lansing, Michigan. The producer-director was Leslie Harcus and the program associate was Lois Korslund, extension television editor for home economics at Michigan State University. It was originally recorded on videotape. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
