Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Nation's Food: A Statistical Study of a Physiological and Social Problem
As time passed and the organization Of the food producing and distributing agencies of the country was perfected, we came to possess unique-sources of information from which questions like the above could be answered. Still more broadly it was perceived that we had better material than had ever been available before on which to attempt a thorough and searching statistical survey Of the food resources and food consumption Of the United States. In the summer of 1918 I began the task of putting together the material. It has proved a far greater labor than was anticipated.
