Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Ways to Wage War on Food Waste Given Right now while resolutions arc running high Is the time to think it through; to sit quietly and read the score or so of economy-wise food hints that we've carefully assem bled for you. If you're trying your best as who isn't, to balance the budget after the gay abandon of December shopping, here are ways to wage war on food waste, get far more for your money. Reflect well also on the fact that you can feed your family adequately without re sorting to costly food fads. Leading nutritionists debunk fad diets, declare that many of them are not only useless, a waste of money, but may be dangerous as well when followed for a long time. If you've a weight or health problem, your family doctor is the person to consult, not friends nor pamphlets nor books by food faddists. . E. W. Henry, Ph. D, says In his book Food Without Fads, "Perhaps the main harm done by following a fad diet is that people are prevented from eating good meals". Often the rest of the family suffers when a parent goes on a foods "kick". .

Consider the prodigal amount of fat wasted through improper storage. Leftover fats and drop pings are good food and can be used again but they must be slurcd in a dry, cold, dark place. Lett op range, they grow rancid, spoil flavor of other loods to which they are added. There's waste In foods that are carelessly prepared and so turn out to be failures.

When meat is Improperly cooked, alloved to brown overly much or cooked at too high a temperature, it shrinks more man necessary, gives lower servings per pound. To preserve best flavors of leftovers, heal them tho roughly but do not cook the food again.
