Excerpt from Food Economy in War Time It is well understood by the public that at the present time a rigorous economy in food is not only desirable on general grounds, but absolutely necessary to the success of this country in the task before it. While all may have the wish to economise, many will feel the need of some guidance with regard to the lines upon which economy may be practised without injury to health. Some such guidance this pamphlet is intended to supply. A general economy in the use of food is clearly called for, since its practice will lead to what is now so greatly desirable, an appreciable increase in the current national savings. The country spends some 600,000,000 a year upon its food and a saving of one-tenth of this would be no mean item. But, further, since there is likely to be a serious shortage in particular foodstuffs, and especially in meat, a wise course of economy will include a serious endeavour to substitute the more plentiful for the less plentiful foods. There exists, it is true, a consideration of importance which somewhat complicates the course of simple retrenchment; the necessity, namely, of giving first choice when possible to the foodstuffs which are produced at home, so that our indebtedness to other countries may grow no faster than is necessary during the war. On this point the Government must give the public guidance from time to time. Subject to the qualification just mentioned economy is clearly possible upon each of two lines.
