"Are people such fools that they
wouldn't eat unless advertisers con-
stantly invited to do sot ask a cer-
tain propagandist against advertis-
ing.
We would not go so far as to say
that people "wouldn't eat" but we
would say it is conceivable that if it
were not for advertising and the
manufacturing and marketing meth-
ods it has snide possible, that it
wouldn't be long before they ctittldn't
eat, There • would •be nothing, for
them to eat, This is a fact that has
not received sufficient consideration.
All through•the ages, the spectre of
famine has stalked just around the
corner, The food .lntfrgin was never
very large, and when crops failed,
famine often did lay its terrible
hands on whole countries. Keeping
food production up to the increase in
population was always one of the
world's mighty problems. It was this
that led the economist Asaithes to'pro-
nounce his famous theory that one
day population would outstrip food
production, In 1898 the great Eng-
lish scientist, Sir William Crooks, -
made a prophecy that in thirty years
the world would face starvation. He
marshalled statistics to prove his as-
sertion,
Revolution In Business.
Had not something come along to
revolutionize the food business no
doubt the prophecy of these two-emi-
nent'Britishers would same day be ful-
filled. This revolution is gradually
changing the eating habits of people
and is making the world's food mar-
gin, more secure. Of course the war
has temporarily depleted the margin,
but had it not been for the food rev-
olution, the present danger of ' world
famine, due to the war, ivould be,
vastly more :fnuniiienf,' '
Throughout the history the diet of
most peoples has been extremely re -
et . ,
s rat. ed. 1t
t wasconfined 'largely a to
wheat products, to cheese a ndy milk
and to fruits, nuts `and a few vege-
tables indigenous to the country In
which the people. lived. Manufactured whichfoods,
ood s, except those prepared in
the household, were rare.
The gloomy prophecies of Malthus,
Crokes and' others were based of this
condition. Wheat was the principal
food of Occidental races, and since
.steady wheat production quickly ex-
hausts the fertility of ea the soil. It
looked as though some day it would be
impossible to raise enough to feed
the. world, James J, Hill was 0112of
the first to see this, It led itis to
.start his propaganda 111 favor' of
diversified agriculture, rotation of
crops, and intensified farming, which
bore splendid fruit and in behalf of
which many forces are now working.
Inlprovelllents in transportation .and.
in, the art of preserving and packing',
brought into use a greater variety of
foods and is gradually removing the
Strain from wheat.
Educating People
However people did not readily ac -
sept this greater variety, They had
to be educated in the use of these
new foods. This requires advertis-
ing and modern sales promotion.
Normally, people will eat only those
foods to which they are accustomed.
Most new foods come into use slowly,
and, were it not for advertising, it is
doubtful if many of these prepar-
ations would ever gain a .foot -hold,
Corn, , for example, is yt wonderful
food that can be prepared in dozens
of ways and yet it has never attained
much popularity outside of the Unit-
ed States.. It is said that immigrants
look with suspicion on oatmeal. 1t
requires considerable coaxing to get
many of them to try it and find out
for themselves. how. delicious ... and
wholesome it really is.
Overcoming Prejudices,
Ulitil recently, tomatoes were re-
garded as poisonous. It is only in
the last few years that the public has
accepted grapefruit. Introducing Ca-
saba 11181rn was a desperate tight. It
took strung advertising to get people
to drink grape juice. The value of
rice is not appreciated in this coun-
try. On the other hand, Oriental
people would be better off if they ate
more of our foods. There are still
dozens of fine fruits and vegetables
with which most people are not fam-
iliar. Getting people out of diet ruts
is one of the. Food Orminlstrator's
hard problems, and it would be ninny
•tinges harder hard not advertisers for
years been spreading the gospel of
variety in foods.
Advertising gets the people of one
cline to use the surplus foods of •u1-
other chine. By creating demand for
strange or luxury foods, it encour-
ages their producers to increase pro-
duction and thus tends to reduce their
cost to tile 'consumer. Advertising
slakes variety possible, and as long
as people are willing to eat .all the
various 'kinds of food that the earth
produces .there i5 no iulniediate dun-
ger of tine human, race starving,. ,
Similarly with the personnel, the or-
iginal' 146,000 officers and men have
grown to 394,000.
