MALNUTRITION
FOOD THE FOUNDATION OF HEALTH. In a final injunction to a broadcast talk on malnutrition, Sir Robert McCarrison, member of the Nutrition Committee of the British Medical Research Council, said: —“Strive to understand that food is the foundation of health. For with understanding there will come belief, and with belief there will come the will to remedy existing evils: and, with the will there will come the way to remedy them. Pub- ■ lie opinion moves Governments and politicians to action, and the form this action should take in the British Isles is a real national nutrition policy. Confucius, who lived about 500 years before Christ and was one of the supremely great figures in the world’s history, was once asked to define good government. He replied: ‘lt consists in providing enough food to eat, in keeping enough soldiers to guard the State, and in winning the confidence of ■ the people.’ Think this over.” |
