Speakersa By LESLIE BATES Gamecock Staff Writer "Your health is your responsibility," was the message of a speech on eating behavior and weight control sponsored by Open Door in the Russell House Ballroom Tuesday as part of Health Enrichment Week. "Society does not put the food in your mouth," said Terry Hoff, a nutritionist with the USC Heart Attack Prevention Program. "We are'not helpless," Hoff said. "It's our responsibility to find out what a balanced diet is." Hoff said individuals have to evaluate nutrition information and 111 it to tneir own lives. The U.S. government spends $70 million annually on nutrition information, she said, "but we can't spoonfeed you." "BE SKEPTICAL, educate yourself," Hoff said. "If you want ZBT USC fraternity Zeta Beta Tau celebrated its 50th anniversary Saturday night at the Carolina Townhouse. The banquet was attended by vice president of students James Campbell, ZBT brothers, little sisters and their dates and about 75 alumni. The Alpha Theta Chapter of Phi Epsilon Pi (ZBT) was installed in April 1928, at a banquet held at the Jefferson Hotel. There were 10 petitioning brothers. Now, 50 years later, USC's ZBT brothers number 47. They were honored at last week's Greek Banquet for maintaining a tradition of "intellectual awareness" ? the highest GPR of any fraternity on campus.

Hoff said labels like "organic" and "natural" are misleading because "all food is organic." Food without preservatives may not be a bonus since it can deteriorate quickly, she said. "Don't get so paranoid about your diet that you can't enjoy food," Hoff said. Additives, pesticides and nitrates are not always harmful," she said. "Crop losses would soar 50 percent without pesticides, and food prices would rise." "Don't think you're going to get cancer every time you sit down to a meal," Hoff said.

Overweight people are discriminated against, which is one reason why they want to slim down. The "Yo-yo syndrome," losing weight for the summer and putting it back on in the winter, is another reason to take weight off permanently, Wilson said.
