for them without bribeS. and
yet in many areas OF the world
in highly cultured areas---it is
not the habit TO have desserts
as part OF the meal at all.
THIS American attitude, as
Il conditioned by the mothers
coercion. has resulted in state
of mind whereby the growing
boy can express his rebellion
against parental control by re-
voting against certain foods.
These and other results NAV
appear somewhat fantasia and
super-psychological and yet 1t
seems 10 me that they have a
good deal OF sound basis
The one lesson is that chill
dren should be encouraged 10
eat as great variety Of foods
rs possible and there should be
established early in life a real
liking for A variety of foods.
l only can say for myself az
the present moment that one OF
the faults OF my upbringing is
being presented in glazing clar-

THAT so eminent a body

In interviewing A number ~
Americans and foreigners. and
comparing their food habits. It
is evident that the American
