FOOD PRODUCTION IN BRITAIN
Sir, —Harvey Blanks’s article “Fighting for Life and Fed Like This” in “The Press” to-day makes sad reading. Your correspondent mentions various shortages—no “offal” flour, bread, etc., rationed. What becomes of the offal? Is it sent to the zoos? If so, why not painlessly destroy all the animals there and why also feed racing and pet dogs while humans slowly starve? Also, why in a time of national calamity are racehorses kept? Grain and vegetables for human consumption could be grown in those pastures and any reject food fed to fowls and pigs to produce the much-needed eggs I am only an invalidity pensioner and yet out of my meagre income I send many food parcels to Britain, so I hope some one will be able to answer the above questions. —Yours, etc., PERPLEXED. September 27, 1947.
