Excerpt from Food Values: What They Are, and How to Calculate ThemThis handbook has been compiled to answer that question not so much directly by giving model diets, as by putting readers in possession of the chief facts known at present about food and diet, in a condensed accessible form, and, as far as possible, by means of arithmetical data. It will be shown how these data can be used in working out problems for the diet of individ nals and Of small communities. Readers will be able by use of the Tables to answer their own questions. In particular they will be able to discover whether a given plan Of feeding certain people, reviewed weekly or daily, will be approximately a sound one.It will always be necessary, however, for them to use their own judgment finally in adopting a standard Of sufficiency in diet, for as yet there is no such standard to which unanimous adherence is given. This book will aim, further, at indicating clearly what statements or figures are generally accepted, what other statements and figures are still under discussion, and will aim also at guiding readers to avail themselves of any new information that may be published.Information of the kind is spoken Of commonly as the knowledge of food values - a rather vague term. Long before the war there was a pious aspiration that housekeepers (and above all housekeepers in the making - girls still at school) Should know about food values.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
