If you were going to q desert
island for a year and could have
only five kinds Of food while you
were there, which would you take
along2
That seems to me an extremely
hard question. but will offer a list
which perhaps would be the best !
could take: Milk, eggs, beef, potatoes
and oranges.
Those foods would provide fair
1y good supply Of proteins, starch
and fat, also minerals and vitamins.
Milk contains the vitamins A, B.
c and G. 1t has a little vitamin D,
but not enough unless 1t Is treated
with ultra violet rays. If I took a
COW along, I would feed 1t with
food which had been exposed to
those rays, and more vitamin D
would be supplied in the milk.
Eggs are hardly less well balanced
than milk. They have minerals
and other food values, besides the
vitamins A, B, D and G. Eggs are
the only common food with . fairly
rich supply Of vitamin D; this sup
ply Is in the yolk, or yellow part.
A person, however, would need to
eat from 8 to 10 OF them . day to
have enough D, and that Is why I

| should also want to have vitamin D

milk.
When I chose beef I did 50 mostly
because OF taste. Liver Is far more
richly supplied with vitamins and
Is an excellent food. I think, how
ever, I'd become ever 50 tired Of 1t II
I tried to eat it every day In the
year. Once . week would be hne,
and I'd like to have liver on my
desert island that often, along with
beef.
Oranges would keep me from get
ting scurvy and other troubles which
come from not having enough vita
min G. Potatoes were chosen be-
cause they have . good supply OF
starch, along with minerals and
some vitamins.
That list Is as good as ! can
think Of now for five foods, but I
know I would not be content with
them for long. If I really were
going to an island, I'd want at least
these foods, maybe more:
Dairy products-Milk, butter and
cheese, along with the henhouse
product, eggs.
Vegetables-Peas, beans, carrots,
lettuce, cabbage, caulihower, aspara-
gus, onios 8, cticumbers, spinach and

both white and sweet potatoes.
Meats and flsh-Liver, beef, lamb
and salmon.
Grains-Rice, wheat and oatmeal.
Fruits Oranges, apples, lemons,
grapefruit, pineapples, prunes, pears
and dates.
Along with those, I'd wish to have
yeast tablets to make sure Of hav-
ing certain B vitamins, also honey,
sugar and salt.
BY this time, maybe you think I
wouldn't be "roughing it" on my
desert island, and you no doubt are
right. I'd have . rich supply of
some of the best foods and food
elements in the world. You and I
should have them where we live,
without going to far island.
