FOOD AND NUTRITION
Sir-If any officials of the Plunket Society, A.C.E., or similar bodies listened to the United Nations broadcast on May 27, they must have surely moaned with despair. The listener was required to be moved to pity by the painful contrast of what a New Zealand child ate at his birthday party and what a European child was forced to eat on her birthday. The party hostess recited with smug satisfaction a whole list of menaces to teeth and health tin the shape of refined flours and sugars (such as rainbow cake, sponge cake, etc.), which she had made available for the fortunate New Zealanders, while the poor little European girl only had a herring and some black bread, both of which are unrivalled for their vitamin and nutritional properties in their respec-
tive fields.
