Excerpt from Tested Menus and Recipes: Based on a Low Cost Dietary Obviously, the immediate aim in determining a safe minimum for the family food allowance was to help the family make the best of the situation. Even larger issues, however, were involved. Before a truly satisfactory ration could be outlined it was necessary to know the dan ger line, or rather the safety line below which it was not possible to go. The matter of reasonable leeway could then be more easily determined. It is hoped that the present pamphlet may be of some service to those who are concerned with this problem of low cost dietaries. It seemed best to publish the calculations 011 which the work is based since these may prove of interest in the case of those whose responsibility lies along the line of helping to develop the literature of this subject. The unit system is used since this seems the most convenient way to approximate food needs for a group of families. Individual dietaries would of course be calculated upon the basis of individual needs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
