A brief glance at this table will show how easily one might slowly starve on very expensive food, and yet how easily the energy food needed can be secured at a very low cost. It would, of course, be a great mistake to regulate the diet solely with regard to fuel value. Digestibility, as well as protein, mineral and vitamin requirements, must also be considered. Nevertheless, the main requirement is for fuel, and this, as the table shows, can be secured at a surprizingly low cost. =========================================================================== | No. of | Cost of One Name of Food. | Calories in | Order "Quick | One Order.[B]| Lunch" | | Restaurant. -------------------------------------------+---------------+--------------- Napoleon | 418.6 | $0.05 Crullers | 416.6 | .05 Cabinet pudding and vanilla sauce | 416.6 | .05 Cocoanut pie | 357 | .05 CD--Roast beef sandwich with roll | 357 | .05 Bath buns | 357 | .05 Bread custard pudding | 357 | .05 Pineapple pie | 357 | .05 Corn muffins | 357 | .05 Apple pie | 357 | .05 New England pudding with vanilla sauce | 312.5 | .05 Chocolate spiced cakes. | 312.5 | .05 Walnut layer cake with marshmallow | | icing | 312.5 | .05 Milk crackers | 312.5 | .05 Bread pudding with vanilla sauce | 312.5 | .05 Pumpkin pie | 312.5 | .05 D--Lamb croquettes and mashed potatoes | 833.3 | .15 Coffee cake | 277.7 | .05 Rhubarb pie | 277.7 | .05 D--German meat cakes and French fried | | potatoes | 833.3 | .15 Old-fashioned molasses cake | 277.7 | .05 Lemon pie | 277.7 | .05 CD--Vienna roast with French fried potatoes| 833.3 | .15 Butter cakes | 277.7 | .05 Minced ham sandwich | 277.7 | .05 Pork and Boston beans | 833.3 | .15
