Miss Sybil Woodruff Gave Food Lecture On "Fat, Oils And Meats"
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Speaker Explained Uses and Possibilities of Many Palatable Substitutes
Miss Sybil Woodruff of the department of home economics took the place of E. D. Teetor and delivered the food conservation lecture for women students this afternoon in Fraser chapel. Miss Woodruff took for her students the lecture and spoke of the necessity of conserving these important foods.
"The people of the United States consume a larger proportion of fats than any other nation," said Miss Woodruff. "Our average is over one-half pound per week for each person, while the British food administrator allows only four ounces a week, and even this if often hard to get. In Germany the fat shortage has become serious, and the food is flavorless and unappetizing."
MANY SUBSTITutes RICH IN FATS Many foods which are not purchased as fats have a high percentage of fat in their make-up. Miss Woodruff stated. These include cheese, nuts, olives, eggs and milk. The United States has an exceedingly large supply of vegetable oils and these are useful in taking the place of the animal oils.
"There are two ways in which we may conserve," said Miss Woodruff. "The first is to do away with the waste of meat scraps, for which American women were noted before the war. The second is the substitution of vegetable fats for the animal product, which has become scarce on account of the lessened production and the many soldiers who are fed much of this kind of food. Fresh lard and butter in cooking are not-essentials; meat left-overs may be utilized."
SOME SUBSTITUTES ARE EXPENSIVE
"Meats are eaten chiefly for the proteins which they contain," continued Miss Wooldruff. "Other foods containing an equal value of proteins are the meat substitutes whose use is being so strongly advocated. These include cheese, nuts, and leguminous vegetables, such as beans and peas. Formerly, the use of meat substitutes was urged solely because many of them were cheaper, but now at a time when it is essential to conserve every scrap of meat, we are being called upon to use substitutes which are actually more expensive. Fish is one of these and will become cheaper as its use becomes more widespread."
"The Americans are a meat-eating nation, consuming far more animal products than is necessary. The average amount eaten per year by each person is 178 pounds, which is much more than other nations use. We spend about twice as much for meat as is necessary."
