S. record of food pro duction and the reputation of this country for food abundance and well-fed people has been a matter of national pride. Food supplies are large enough to more than meet average per capita nutrition al needs. But neither averages nor totals give the whole diet picture, nutrit ion scientists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture say. Food con sumption studies show that many famines and individuals In cities and on farms are not getting the kinds and amounts of food needed for both physical and mental well being. In the present emergency, underfed bodies which cannot be fully efficient are a handicap to full national effort. Though malnutrition is most common among low-income fam ilies, an ample pocket book is no guarantee of an adequate diet. People of every income level need to be alerted to the part food plays in their health and vigor and then know how to choose foods for their nutritional requirements. .. Single copies of "Nutrition, Up to Date, Up to You" (GS-1) may be had on request to the Office of In formation, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 25, D.
