In many of the homes in Barking facilities are lacking for
preparing food under suitable conditions, and it is not to be wondered
that when the circumstances are such that the proper preparation
of food is a matter of great difficulty, people resort to expediencies
which are not altogether to be commended.
The greatest difficulty is a lack of variety. For my part, I
deprecate a good housewife thinking in terms of calories and
vitamins just as I should not expect a great artist to think in terms
of the latest scientific enquiries into the theories of colour vision.
If good, plain, straightforward food is made available for
the public at a price the public is able to pay, and if that food is as
widely variable as possible, and if the public arc taught to avail
themselves of these amenities, they will, without any scientific
knowledge, prepare foods wnich are scientifically accurate.
