UNWISE NIBBLING
EXPERIENCE BOUGHT PAINFULLY. IN DEHYDRATED FOOD FACTORIES. (Special Australian Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 10.30 a.m.) SYDN/EY, This Day. Nibbling between “meals is being abandoned by workers in Australian dehydrated meat and vegetable plants —this because too much rich food caused distended stomachs among the workers. Many sorters and packers new to the job found themselves unable to resist the temptation to nibble tasty bits off trays as they passed through their hands. Later the nibblers became thirsty and drank considerable quantities of water. The five or six ounces of dehydrated meat they had eaten became 30 or 36 ounces of stewing meat once it was mixed with water. The result was a distended stomach and acute indigestion pains. One bout of indigestion has been found an infallible cure for nibbling.
