BRITAIN LEARNS TO EAT SENSIBLY by Victoria Chappelie it It has taken a war to make the British people eat sensibly. Dieticians and doctors had warned for years that the national diet ,contained too much meat and to few properly-cooked vegetables, too much white bread and too few salads. Then Hitler ,intervened, and to-day the entire ,nation is being fed oe a basis which is as near scientific as makes ho odds. Meat is cut to a minimum, but that loss can be made good by eating fish rich in fats, such as herrings, Vege- tables-which arc being grown by everyone who owns even the smallest patch of ground-have been popular- ised by skilful Government advice• on various ways of cooking them, The sale of natural wholemeal breed, containing 100 per cent, of the wheat germ, is going up rapidly. F01` those who hesitatae at a complete change-over from white bread there is a national wheat-riteal loaf in which 85 per cent. of the wheat berry is used instead of the usual 75 per cent., thus retaining nearly all the vital gel\IfIliik has long been supplied free or at very IOW prides for expectant nursing mothers and those with alight- reit under five years, and the use of . . • • • • 'STRICT N EWS of the ;WE "It's her heart.

It will be seen from all this that the Government is making the most of a megnificient opportunity to raise the stamina of the nation, It is educating the housewife to the importance and relative uses of body- building, energy-giving and protec- tive foods, and showing her how to build up a balanced diet for herself and her family. Demonstrators are busy all over the country in collaboration with the Min- istry of Health, who have, sought the advice and assistance of the finest dieticians in the country. It is now obvious from the lack of illnesses and epidemics expected last winter how the nation as a whole has benefited. One of the drawbacks the nation has had to overcome is the lack of fruit. During the years of peace Brit- ain had become a, great fruit-eating country, owing mainly to the intro- duction of cheap fruit from the Dom- inions and the Colonies. To offset the lack of those, Lord Horsier, the King's physician, advised CI
