Excerpt from Uncle Sam's Hand-Book of Useful Information The design of this work is to have within the reach of all a good recipe book, and a compendium of useful information. It is arranged for convenience into departments. It is to be hoped that the owners of this work will find in it things of value, things that will save money and also enable them by the use of some of the things herein named to make money for themselves. It is not muscle but "know how" that brings the man money. These are recipes for making things they sell, but not only do they sell, but they sell for a big percent on the investment. It is not claimed that this is the only recipe book, or this is better than any other book of a similar nature but it is claimed that it is a good book of the kind, well worth the money. There is about so much money made each year, if one man makes more than the average amount, some one or more must make less than the average. Let any young man take this book, use the knowledge therein contained and he can make something for himself. No one ever did or ever can make a cent working. It is the application of knowledge that makes one's time valuable. By applying the suggestions in errors correctly, one can learn to speak and write correctly.

The UNCLE SAM DIET is based on the new 2005 US Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Based on solid science, it's an eating style that you can stay with and thrive on. No gimmicks here, and no fads. Dr. Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian and associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, uses the USDA's new dietary guidelines to design an eating plan based on good, wholesome foods. It's simple...it's safe...and it works! * Lots of good foods—from all food groups–so you never feel hungry. * Weekly menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks–you can even have a latte or two! * Huge, hungry man's servings of vegetables and fruits–every day. * Delicious whole grains–muffins, breads, bagels and more. * Nutritious snacks for hunger attacks Got kids? Great! These guidelines are good for anyone age 2 and older. The new Dietary Guidelines are chock-full of great changes for you and your family. Dr. Ayoob takes the "nutrition-ese" out of the government's gobbledygook and gives you meal plans and recipes that are easy to use and delicious. The result? This Uncle Sam is here to stay. "Obesity is a disease of excess–excess calories and excess sedentary activities. The cure is to balance calories in with calories out."–Keith Ayoob (quoted in IFIC, Food Insight, March/April 2003)
