Anna W. Berger of Downtown Health Foods points out meat substitutes.
Protein breaks down into amino acids, certain amounts of which must be contained in food in order for the food to meet human need.

Beefed-up food prices and a shortage of meat products in Lawrence supermarkets are leading many University of Kansas budgets to look for substitutes for meat.
Students can get around the high cost of meat by buying cheaper cuts of meat or by simply eliminating it from their diets, Cross said.
Local meat counters haven't been overstocked late, and the cost of beef is expected to skyrocket when federal price controls on it are lifted Sed. 12.
Another possibility is a meatless diet. Seabees are the only food that provides as much protein as they do on land.
Three main nutrients, iron, vitamin
As grim as the situation may appear, meat isn't essential to a person's diet, according to Marie Cross, associate professor of human development.

Cheaper Meat Cuts One Solution When Price Controls Are Lifted
LESS EXPENSIVE CUTS of meat are just as nutritious, Cross said. Stew meat, for example, requires more time for preparation but has the same nutritional value as more expensive cuts. Fish and poultry are more expensive and contain fewer calories, too.
Days of Drops and Dregs Come to Lawrence and the Nation
Shortages
Kansan Staff Writer
Good news: there isn't a shortage of shortages in Lawrence.
First it was gasoline, then it was beef and shortly, thereafter, a whole虾 of shortened shellfish.
The poultry supply began to decline in August as poultry farmers who didn't like the freeze on their products initiated cutbacks.
Everything from hamburgers to steaks disappeared from supermarket shelves as cattlemen withheld their animals from the meat market, continuation of a ceiling on beef prices.
Maymayne has begun to disappear from the shelves of many supermarkets. The
Even toilets have become hard to find.
Housewives have weathered shortages of grapes, onions and potatoes. Farmers have experienced difficulties obtaining bailing wire.
A national shortage of beer has developed and distributors are rationing beer in several areas in Kansas. Sedgwick, a state university, is beginning to feel the pinch. Although several Lawrence distributors told the Kansan on Monday that Douglas county wasn't having any trouble, local availability of popular brands appears highly variable.
"Toilets are impossible to be," said Lymn Krause, president of the Chicago Home Builders Association. They just aren't available and it looks like we'll have to wait
about three months before the situation will improve."
On a national level, the reason for the toilet shortage is simply that demand has exceeded supply. However, Lawrence contractors said Monday they hadn't had difficulties obtaining the toilets they had ordered.
Fuel Pinch May Hit
KU Heating Plant
The pinch is the fuel shortage, and gasoline for your car and natural gas for the truck.
Drivers are already feeling the pinch. The University may feel it when cold weather hits.
KU heating plant are both in short supply. Lawrence service stations still are faced with gas allocations well below their customers' demands. Many operators have the equipment they work their hours of business and often by closing their stations certain days of the week.
"I don't know what's going to happen when the students hit town," said Jerry Collins of Jerry's Tradeco, 2206 Iowa. "I have a good student textbook and might have to limit the amount to each customer by the end of the month."
Other station managers said that they had tried to avoid rationing gas by limiting hours of business but that the customer had still been too great to avoid rationing.

Polk said that he did not foresee a national shortage of natural gas, but said that if the gas supply did diminish, KU would enough fuel oil to heat its classrooms.
"We have been informed that we will be off more natural gas and on more fuel oil to us."
The standard reserve of 200, 1000 gallons is sufficient for 12 to 15 days heating, but last year KU was forced to heat with oil for 13 days.
The possibility of a natural gas shortage is dependent on the weather. Oudsahl said, so requirements and costs are difficult to calculate because it is much more expensive than natural gas.
Ray Polk, agent for the Lawrence Standard Oil Bulk Plant, which has supplied KU's fuel for the past two years, said Standard's refinery is already making
fuel to fill the vacancy left by the natural gas shortage.
