Suppose bread cost 40c a
loaf? That would seem high
compared with present prices.
Yet at that figure, bread
woi’ld be on a comparative
price basis with the food
value you obtain in 2 pounds
of steak. One loaf of bread
is the equivalent of 2 pounds
of steak, 15 eggs or 4 pints
of milk—in food value. Yet
bread is priced at bnt a frac­
tion of what these other items
in your diet cost.
