your work in nutrition

"The question of how to °
turn people on, especially ,
youth, to right foods when
nutrition has been so ig-'
nored in the American
way of life is the challenge
we faced in developing
this series," Pike said. "We
found that.sports and film
celebrities have large fol-
Jowings and their actions
and activities mav be able
to influence for the good.
Screen and sports person-
alities have to be con-
cerned about their appear-

ance and fituess if they |

want to continue success-
fully in their fields and
many adhere to nutrition
and exercise regimes."
