Nutrition.
The public continue to be interested in the question of how
much and what sort of food the human body requires in times of
health and disease and the problem of wise buying. Dissemination
of knowledge and instruction on matters affecting nutrition is
included in the general scheme of health propaganda. Throughout
the year talks upon diets suitable for infants and nursing mothers,
food values and cooking were carried out at certain of the Infant
Welfare Centres in Camberwell. In addition booklets and leaflets
appertaining to the subject of nutrition were distributed.
