BARNARD SAYS
SAVE ON FOOD
State Food Commissioner
Urges Adoption of Rules
to Prevent Waste.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug 81
The suggestion that portions of food
served members of a famil, be cut
down and the rule IF you want more
ask for it" adopted has been made
by Or. H. L. Barnard. state food
and drug commissioner. He says:
I'm institutions each inmate gets
a fixed amount of food. In the
army every soldier is served his ra-
ton. The allowanc is based on the
idea that n certain definite amount
of food is necessary to sustain life
and do work But some individuals
need more food than others. They
weigh different amounts. they do
different work. Some are what we
call heavy eaters others are con-
tent with less. There must be some
waste when a fixed food allowance
is measured out. unless that amount
is held SO low that the danger Of
under nourishment is always pres
ent
In the home there is neither the
need for waste nor poor feeding. II
is only necessary 20 lay down a new
table rule. If you want more. ask
for it, and then TO make each in
dividuaI serving no larger that sure
~ will be eaten.
1T may not be necessary 10 urge
some stewards to serve smaller por-
tions. but in general il is fact that
the waste i'm good food because Of
too large portions is far too great.
Every fragment of uneaten bread.
every bit of undesired meat or vege-
table is a part of a wastage that
totals millions of pounds every day.
One-tenth Of the farms Of this coun-
try grow food that is wasted at the
table. more than one-tenth of all the
cost Of food and service is lost ut
terly.
There is no reason why every
one should not have all the food ne
wants There is every reason why
more than that should not be given
him"
