They were disappointed, however, not to receive more support for this competition, which was undertaken in order to obtain more information as to food consumed by New Zealand people. Many competitors have asked if they may have a report on their diet, and one will be supplied to all who ask for it. In answer to various inquiries, it is stated that the home science faculty hopes to lie able to publish a report based on both investigations in 11-38, but there remains still much work to be done on the material from the first competition.
