Food Control Corner
People who with to help in food
conservation should consider potatoes
as a partial substitute for wheat flour.
Potatoes are the chief staple of the
semi -perishable foods. Canadians do
not eat ''`their fair share of potatoe i
even in normal times. We 'have
been largely- a wheat, beef'and pork
cansuming-people. These staples are
now required for overseas and it be-
hooves 'us to substitute other foods
for . thein whenever possible. We
consume, Perhaps, two and ; one-half
bushels of potatoes per capita ,per.
year, or about one-third of a pound
per day=equalto one fair-sized po-
tato. In some European countries
one pound per day per capita is con-
sumed, and in some districts four
pounds per day, and nearly twenty-
five bushels per' year.
Despite the increase "in price since
the war,, potatoes are still 'among the
cheapest of foods. One pound of
roast beef costs ten times as much
as a pound of potatoes, and twenty
per cent, of beef is bone. Three and
a third pounds- of potatoes supply
1,000 calories of energy, at a cost of
less than 10 cents* while about 2,500
calories are required for full grown
persons veorlsing indoors. That is to
say, if all foods were as cheap as pots
