Abstract
IT is common knowledge that while the average diet in most European countries has been seriously worsened by the War (in certain countries it is reported to have been deliberately reduced by the Nazis well below the minimum subsistence-level), the present diet in Great Britain, though drab and much restricted as to choice of food, is still from the point of view of the nutritional scientist little, if at all, inferior to pre-war standards. In fact, as a result of the rationing system and the more even distribution of purchasing power, it is probably true that the great majority of our population is better (or perhaps one ought to say less badly) fed than before the War.
