Wildlife Fact
Young giraffes can
grow up to half an inch per
hour, according to the
National Wildlife Feder-
ation.
Economic Tip
Select beans, peas and
lentils with a bright,
uniform color, a consumer
marketing specialist
recommends. Loss of color
usually indicates long
storage, lack of freshness
and a product that will
take longer to cook.
Eating quality, however,
is not affected, she adds.
