“Piotecting our food is a
giant job, and a vital one for
both America and the world ”
In 416 pages and 105 photo
graphs the Yeaibook follows
our food supply from the faim
er’s field to the saucepan on
the stove. The Yearbook de
scribes every stage of safe
guaiding food fiom insects,
lodents, bacterial contamina
tion, and loss of body-build
mg values.
Men and women in 500 dif
ferent occupations help pio
. tect our food, the Yeaibook re
ports They include chemists,
entomologists, bacteriologists,
hoiticultunsts, meat and poul
try inspectois, quality contiol
1 specialists, refngei ation engi
neers, nututiomsts, and food
technologists. The housewife,
too, plays a key role in pioper
selection and prepai ation of
food for her family.
The health and vigor of a
nation depend in great pait on
the food it eats, and the Unit
ed States has one of the fin
est food supplies enjoyed by
any nation. Yet, the Yearbook
points out, Americans spend
only around 18 percent of
their take-home pay for food,
compared with nearly 30 per
cent spent by Britons, over 40
percent by Russians, and 50
percent or more by citizens of
the less developed countries
