WHAT YOU EAT IN A YEAR.
Even if you are what is called a small eater the amount of food needed to keep you going for a year is considerable. In that period you will eat 1201b of meat and fish, 37Slb of breadstuff's (including other grains, such as rice and oatmeal), a similar amount of potatoes, vegetables and fruit, besides some 201b of butter and cheese. Added will be rations of tea, sugar, mustard, pepper, salt, and so on. When you remember that there are between one and two thousand' million people in the world, the amount of food lequired to feed them all is colossal. Yet a hundred million people produce it ail. They plough and cultivate fields, orchards, and gardens, reap or gather their crops, milk the cows, make the butter and cheese, and catch the fish.
