BREAD ZONING

Sir,— Surely the fact of wholemeal bread being compulsory m England shows that it is not a mere tad ana that those of us who have brought up our children on it and used it ourselves should feel anxiety about not being able to obtain It from our bakers now. Mrs Grigg, in a in- the House, pointed out what an advantage wholemeal bread would ne to the farmers, and to the health of most of the people. Anyone accustomed to real wholemeal bread (m which the grains should be visible inside as well as outside the loaf) knows that white bread tastes like paste after it, and that two slices of white do not take the place of one of wholemeal. If, all wholemeal users will protest to the bakers who do not supply it, .they will be doing a real service to the country.—Yours, etc., MOTHER OF THREE. , May 19, 1942. Sir,—l was very pleased to see a letter in your newspaper this morning in defence of the really excellent wholemeal bread which is being banned by the bakers. In these days of refined and denatured foods, one was'thankful to be able to procure a 100 per cent, wholemeal loaf, and the bakers might well cease to make that dry and tasteless rubbish known as "brown bread” and substitute this nourishing loaf instead.—Yours, etc., WHOLEMEAL FOR HEALTH.
