SAVE MEAT

REASONS WHY OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ASKED US TO SAVE MEAT WITH PRACTICAL RECIPES FOR MEAT CONSERVATION

As a nation we eat and waste 80 per cent. more meat than we require to maintain health.  This statement, recently issued by the United States Food Administration, is appalling when we consider that there is a greater demand for meat in the world to-day than ever before, coupled with a greatly decreased production.  The increase in the demand for meat and animal products is due to the stress of the war.  Millions of men are on the fighting line doing hard physical labor, and require a larger food allowance than when they were civilians.  To meet the demand for meat and to save their grains, our Allies have been compelled to kill upward of thirty-three million head of their stock animals, and they have thus stifled their animal production.  This was burning the candle at both ends, and they now face increased demand handicapped by decreased production.
