42. ADULTERATION, ETC.
The Food and Drugs (Adulteration) Act, 1928, and kindred Acts and Regulations
arc administered in this district by the Essex County Council.
I am indebted to Mr. H. C. Card, Chief Food and Drugs Officer for the Metropolitan
Area of the Essex County Council, for the particulars of samples purchased
and submitted for analysis during the year. These samples are submitted for
chemical examination to Dr. Bernard Dyer, the County Analyst.
Other
Milk. Butter. Samples. Total.

No proceedings were instituted in relation to these samples during the period
covered.
43. NUTRITION.
Once again I want to say that I do not think there is any need for a lot of
scientific training of the public in the nutritive value of various foods, and to repeat
that if good, plain, straightforward food is made available for the public at a price
the public are able to pay, and if that food is as widely variable as possible, and if the
public are taught to avail themselves of these amenities, they will, without any
scientific knowledge, prepare foods which are scientifically accurate.
