FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The fourth section in the Basic Z
foods are milk and milk products
whole, skim. evaporated and pow
dered milks and cheese. That milk
is a nearly perfect food is obvious
otherwise young animals would not
thrive on it as they do. Many adults
would do well to apply this fact to
themselves. They some times stop
using milk after their growing per-
iOd is over, tending to think of it
only as beverage.
More Milk-LOnger Life
Well nourished individuals are
usually stronger than poorly fed
ones-they have greater resistance.
There is evidence that experiment
tai animals have longer life and
are more active when their diets
include adequate milk. Nutrition
authorities believe that adults us
ing one quart of milk or its equiv

active lives. 1t may be a problem
to get this much milk in areas
where milk supplies are limited.
Milk furnishes so many things that

Drink II Or Eat II
The important thing is to get
milk-whether you drink it or eat
it in foods is of no Importance.
Children need l quart a day, their
parents at least / pint each. If
you get yours in soups, white sauce
or milk gravy, remember that you
won't get more than u or n cup

custards. you'll get slightly more.
Drinking milk as a beverage is a
simpler solution.
Tips TO The Pleasingly Plump
Milk does not necessarily make
you fat. Pour off the cream. You
can drink 2 glasses of skim milk or
cultured buttermilk at a cost of
only 200 calories. One slice of ap-
