New fat substitute makes hamburger leaner, juicier
OMAHA, Neb. — Hoping to lure U.S. citizens back to red meat, a diet giant introduced a 96 percent fat-fat ground beef product yesterday that uses a new fat substitute made of oat flour to keep burgers juicy.
The Asssociated Press
Healthy Choice Extra Lean Ground Beef, which has been test-marketed in nine states since mid-August, should be on the way to end of the month, ConAgra Inc., said.
Healthy Choice, which is 49 percent beef, uses a modified oat-flat fat substitute called LEANesse and includes some beef stock for extra flavor, said Richard Monfort, president of ConA-
gra Red Meat Companies.
Phil Sokolio, the cholesterol crusader who has lobbed against fast fatty menus, gave the product rave reviews and page leads in several U.S. newspapers.
ConAgra said healthy Choice Extra Lean Ground Beef was the leanest national brand of ground beef available. A 4 ounce cooked serving has 4 grams of fat compared with the 21 grams of fat in the 80 percent lean ground beef sold in most grocery stores, the company said.
Low-fat ground beef made with a seaweed-based fat substitute called carrageenin — like the kind of meat used in McDonald's McLean Deluxe
is available in some areas. It is 91 percent fat free after cooking, McDonald's said.
The Healthy Choice beef has the same texture and look as regular ground beef. A grilled hamburger made of it held its shape, oozes juices when pressed and tasted like a regular hamburger.
"This innovative ground beef will substantially reduce the cholesterol levels of the public as it replaces greasy hamburger," Sokolof said in full-page advertisements in USA Today, the New York Times, the Washington Post and other newspapers.
Wayward pilot whales beached again; rescuers grim on chances of survival
BARNSTABLE, Mass — A group of wayward pilot whales beached themselves yesterday for the fourth time and they whale thought to be their leader died.

Four other ailing humans were euthanized and would be rescuers were grim about chances of saving the living seven tired, battered animals.
"The they might have done all right had they gone out to sea, but this pattern of coming back to shore does't show any sign of breaking," said Vikki Corliss, a
representative for the New England Aquarium in Boston.
The dozen whales that beached near Barnstable on Cape Cod were survivors of a larger group that began goaing abushore Sunday. They returned to deep water from the ocean, an episode, but one died and four were put to death Monday after beaching again.
The pod beached near Barnstable on Tuesday, but were able to swim out of danger, led by a police boat.
Volunteers hauled yesterday's survivors into shallow water to keep them comfortable. The whales were in poor
rout whales measure up to 20 feet long and weigh 2,000 to 4,000 pounds. Once beached, their bulk can crush their internal organs. Whale blubber, which insulates the animals from cold in the sea, causes them to overheat on land.
condition from previous beachings
Theories abound, but scientists do not know why marine mammals sometimes beach themselves. Sickness or navigational difficulties are some of the dead whales showed signs for ulcers, worms and other problems.
