SAVE MEAT
_REASONS WHY OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ASKED US TO SAVE MEAT WITH PRACTICAL
RECIPES FOR MEAT CONSERVATION_
As a nation we eat and waste 80 per cent. more meat than we require to
maintain health. This statement, recently issued by the United States
Food Administration, is appalling when we consider that there is a
greater demand for meat in the world to-day than ever before, coupled
with a greatly decreased production. The increase in the demand for
meat and animal products is due to the stress of the war. Millions of
men are on the fighting line doing hard physical labor, and require
a larger food allowance than when they were civilians. To meet
the demand for meat and to save their grains, our Allies have been
compelled to kill upward of thirty-three million head of their stock
animals, and they have thus stifled their animal production. This was
burning the candle at both ends, and they now face increased demand
handicapped by decreased production.
