Voluntary Sacrifice Way to End
"Economic Crime," Says
Food Dictator
WASHINGTON, June 2.
merlca jats too much
On the heels of his appeal lo the house
wife of the country for food economy Her
bert Hoover, new food dictator, today gave
his views on eating In the United States,
Here are some of his conclusions:
Every one in the country eats more
than Is necessary.
Virtually every household wastes food
stuffs Women control 90 per cent of the food
consumption nnd should Introduce a spirit
of sacrifice for the good of the country
Women should learn the fundamentals
of dietetics
Hotel wasto Is one of the worst In the
country.
The "fourth meal" the late supper-
Is one of the worst pieces of cxtravaganco
In the country.
Voluntary suppression of overeating Is
tho only solution of this "economic
crime."
Hoover's remedy for tho tendency to
waste follows:
"By a sufficiently extensive organization
of committees In States, counties and town
ships, and by tho aid of women all over the
country by tho way, women control 90 per
cent of the food consumption wo might In
troduce Into every household a feeling of
sacrifice In the Interests of the country in
this war
"We ought to teach the women the rudi
ments of dietetics Any Intelligent woman
can grasp them In nn hour Things like
proteins, fats, carbohvdrates nnd calories
should be made as much household words
as peas and beans
"Once tho women get tho theory of diet
etics fully grasped, huvlng would revolu
tionize Itself If wo could teach tho women
what they might substitute for wheat, pork
products and then some subsidiary articles
we would Increase our export balance "
Wheat In the majority, pork products
next and then some subsidiary articles are
what the Allies need most In the war of
foodstuffs, Hoover said
