More humorous stories are told of these backslidings, which all prove that, when
left to themselves, ordinary people such as ourselves do need more than forty-one
grams of first-class protein to maintain a sense of wellbeing.
Personally, what I would like to see is legislation that would promote the sale in
your markets of the widest variety of foods; I would like to see that people have proper
cooking apparatus on which to prepare it; and I would like to see that people—anyhow,
those who cannot afford it—are not enveigled by wonderful advertisements to buy at
enhanced prices proprietary foods which only represent the same food value as ordinary
foods which can be bought for a relatively small amount of money.
One great difficulty I have found, particularly in my association with children,
is that they are so impatient that they will not eat foods which require mastication,
and turn with zest to sloppy foods. The time has come when we must call a halt in the
rush and the hurly-burly of modern life, and sufficient time must be given to feeding
to make it a social event in the day, with, if necessary, for those in advancing years, an
opportunity for a quiet siesta afterwards.
