FAMILY BUDGET
DIET AS A SOCIAL QUESTION. In the United Kingdom the diet of at least 50 per cent, of the population falls short of the desirable standard: and it is estimated that to raise the consumption of this lowincome half of the population merely to the level of the next group it. would require an increase of 16 per cent, in the amount of milk consumed, 15 per colnt. in that of butter, 18 per cent, in eggs, 12 per cent, in meat, as well as a 25 per cent, increase of expenditure on fruit and vegetables. Even than the diet would leave room for considerable improvement. The analysis of family budgets carried out by the International Labour Office demonstrated the existence of similar conditions in other countries. —From the Report of Lord Astor’s Committee.
