Talking of Food
HE latest knowledge of nutrition allows a good ‘deal of scope for variety. To feed the family wisely means a varied and interesting menu-meals that the family will enjoy-and meals that you know contain all the health elements that will keep them well and happy. Just think of all the things food has to do! It has to supply warmth and energy; it has to build the body, restore and revitalise the tissues; it has to protect against infection, against disease. To put the functions of food into everyday language, it has to keep you on your feet; keep up your strength, replace energy lost in work and play, ensure sound sleep, presetve your eyesight and complexion, protect your hearing, your teeth, save you from aches and pains, and keep your heart pumping away without any strain. And no food can ‘do all of these things. Such a variety of jobs can only be performed by ‘a variety of foods.-(From a recent health talk by C. G. Scrimgeour, 2ZB).
