FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NHtrifiOSisf for the State Board
of Health
@AO
FOOD IN MANY LANDS

Miss ]. Ernestine Becker, of the
Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene
and Public Health. was the speaker
at the meeting of the Delaware Die
tetic Association on Saturday, May
Is.
Miss Becker contrasted our prob
lem in the selection Of food with
that OF other less privileged people.
The problem Of many nations is 10
find from the food available a COM
bination which will sustain life and
health.
Throughout the hot, wet tropics
rice is usually the main article Of
diet. Rice provides very little be-
sides starch. Yams and sweet pota-
toes usually grow in the same reg
ions. These people are able to exist
because they instinctiveIy eat all the
green leaves which they can find.
An American missionary ins China
was unsuccessful in trying TO grow
willow trees for shade and ornamen-
tation because the Chinese picked
on and ate all the buds every spring.
Bamboo sprouts In southern Asia
might be compared with orange Juice
in this country. They are eaten reg
ularly and supply a good source Of
vitAmin c.
The Chinese keep only pigs and
chickens since other animals re-
quire too much valuable food. Chill
dren get very little milk after they
are weaned. Their ability to survive
is due to a large measure in the
quantities Of green leaves which
they rat.
In hot. dry regions such as Ara
bia, the land is suitable only for
grazing The nomadic habit of such
people as the Arabs is due to the
needs Of their animals for new
grazing lands
Sour milk. barley and dates form
the basis for the diets Of these nom
adic people. The only way that they
can preserve milk is to let il sour.
The Eskimos are almost complete
y carniverous. They use the entire
animal. not just the steaks and
chops. Blood, bones, liver, and other
glandular organs are highly priced
and furnish for them what we get
1ut of milk and vegetables. After
one Of their heavy protein meals
hey lie down and sleep it of. just
IS the lion does after feastins on his
prey.
We often think Of our kind OF a
liet as being the only one fos hu-
nan beings In lands where choice
Il food is limited because OF neess-
ity OF climate, soil, and natural |
esoufcss. people seem iilstinctively |
o crave those foods such as green \
caves which will make their diet |
ietter Our problem is to make a
gise choice from the abundance
7hich is offered to US.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-07

To keep well, eat each day:
"one serving Of potatoes or sweet pota
One serving Of tomatoes or eitrui
fruits
One serving Of yellow. or green. o.
Three 70 I'VE servings week Of othel
vegetables.
One serving each day OF fruit"
So recommends DR.. Hazel Stiebel-
ing, one Of our leading authorities on
food and nutrition.
The daily serving Of fruit listed
above is In addition to the zone serY-
ing Of tomatoes or citrus fruits. To-
matoes are really a fruit and can be
served as fruit although they are
commonly used as a vegetable.
The special value Of fruit in the
diet, like that Of the vegetables. con-
sists In the minerals, vitamins and
roughage they supply.
Individual fruits contain varying
amounts Of minerals and vitamins.
All fruits make some contribution Of
vitamin c. However. citrus fruits
(orange, lemon, grapefruit) and the
tomato whether raw or cooked
stand out as very good sources Of
vitamin c. Other good sources Of
this Vitamin are pineapple, plums,
peaches. bananas and apples
Practically all fruits have a GER
tain amount of fruit acid. This not
only adds to the food value but also
to flavor and taste, but is also one
reason why fruits are 80 refreshing.
Furthermore, much fruit is eaten
raw and thus no food value is lost.
Fruit contains varying amounts
Of fruit sugar. II is better from a
nutrition standpoint to get the lar
ger part of the sweets we need
through the eating OF fruit rather
than through the use Of so much
cane sugar and candy.
Because we have 30 many different
fruits, we can have q great variety
In the diet
Delaware is particularly fortunate
in the variety Of fruits produced.
Note the number: strawberries, ap-
pies. peaches, tomatoes, grapes, can
taloupes. Watermelon in abundance.
Other fruits in lesser amounts:
pears, cherries. Taspberries. black
berries. blueberries.
The uses Of fruit are many. Fruit

rition standpoint, is much better

lings. pies and the like to which
many Of our families are accustom-
d.
And, fruit for dessert saves so
much time In preparation.
May We suggest that families prove
0 themselves the advantages Of
ruit at breakfast and as dessert for
inner or supper by giving the plan
trial Of several weeks. say for
lonth or six weeks? Summer is a {
ood time to test out such a sugges-
on because In summer. we have an /
bundance Of fruit in season. Then

ill plan to use fresh, canned and !
