Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in Preface The National Food Survey started in 1940 and this annual report is the twentieth to be published on the results which have emerged. The thirty years of the enquiry have been a period of continuous change; the contrast between the wartime and early post-war years of food rationing and the present day is very marked. The proportion of consumers' total expenditure spent on food has fallen from 30 per cent just before the war to 24 per cent thirty years later. The supermarket is now commonplace, convenience foods have assumed an entirely new significance, and poultry meat is no longer a luxury food. Over the years the Survey has provided an unparalleled body of information on food consumption patterns. It records the differences that exist between income groups, between families of different size, and between regions. This information is of continuing value to nutritionists, business men, economists, policy-makers and their advisers, and not least to the general public. In the present report will be found the same wide range of data as in previous annual reports. The opportunity has, however, been taken to regroup the text and the appendices in a more coherent manner, and it is hoped that this will prove convenient to the reader. A special feature of the Survey in 1969 was the inclusion of questions about the types of shop used by housewives for their main food purchases, and Chapter 4 of the Report is devoted to an analysis of the results obtained. Also of interest to the food industry are the tables included in Appendix B which show changes in the income elasticities of demand for different foods since 1955. This Appendix also includes a table giving new estimates of the price elasticities of demand for a number of foods. The estimates of the average energy value and nutrient content of the diet in various types of household are again compared with the recommendations of intake made by the Department of Health and Social Security. Estimates are also given of the concentration of nutrients in relationship to the energy value of average diets of various groups of households. The results of the Survey continue to be published in the Monthly Digest of Statistics in summary form as soon as they become available for all households, income groups and types of family. Estimates of consumption for all households are also published each quarter in Trade and Industry, together with some nu tritional data. Applications for unpublished analyses should be addressed to the National Food Survey Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Tolcarne Drive, Pinner, Middlesex HA5 2DT. The Committee again wishes to record its indebtedness to the many house wives who have so generously given of their time to provide records of their food purchases. The Committee is also grateful to its secretaries and to the staffs of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Social Survey Division of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys and the British Market Research Bureau Ltd who have contributed to the work of the Survey.

  • Constituents of the Food, Systems of Animals
    ON THE RELATION BETWEEN THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE FOOD, AND THE SYSTEMS OF ANIMALS. BY ROBERT DUNDAS THOMSON, M.D., LECTURER ON PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW. COMMUNICATED BY SIR B. C. BRODIE, BART. Received May 6th,-Read May 12th, 1846. THE idea which is now entertained by physiologists, that the muscular part of the animal frame is derived from the albu- minous constituent of the food, was clearly pointed out by Beccaria in the year 1742 (Histoire de l'Academie de Bologne, Collect. Acad. xiv. 1): he demonstrated that the flour of wheat contained two characteristic ingredients, which, on distillation or digestion, afford products totally dissimilar to each other. One of these, which he termed the starchy part, resembles in its constitution, vegetable matters, and supplies analogous products. Vegetables, he says, may be recognized by their fermenting and yielding acids, without exhibiting symptoms of putrefaction. The glutinous part of flour, on the contrary, resembles animal matter, the distinguishing feature of which is its tendencv to putrefaction and conversion into a urinous (ammoniacal) liquid. "So strong," he adds, "is the resemblance of gluten to aninial matter, that if we were not aware of its being extracted-from wheat, we should not fail to mistake it for a product of the animal world." To convince ourselves of his thorough identification of gluten and animal muscle, it is only necessary to quote his query, " Is it not true that we are composed of the same substances which serve as our nourishment ?" The same doctrine has been taught Downloaded from jrs.sagepub.com at MCMASTER UNIV LIBRARY on June 10, 2016 328 DR.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE NUTRITION SOCIETY VOL. 5, No. 3 1947 THIRTY-FOURTHSCIENTIFIC MEETING-SIXTEENTH SCOTTISH MEETING THE ROYALINFIRMARY, EDINBURGH, MAY 25~~,1946 HOSPITAL DIETETICS Chairman, Professor D. MURRAY LYON Professor D. Murray Lyon (Clinical Medicine Department, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh): The subject we have today is one of the greatest interest to those concerned with the running of hospitals. Diets have been of importance in medicine since the time of Hippocrates and there have been fashions from time to time, but now we hope that the subject of dietetics is on EL reasonably scientific basis. Modern hospitals are a relatively recent institution. The Edinburgh Royal Infirmary started in a couple of rooms with half a dozen beds in 1729. The work gradually expanded, and was transferred to a house where by 1739 there were 34 beds. A Royal Charter was granted in 1736, and from that time there has been a gradual advance until we have the Royal Infirmary in its present state. Some time ago we found three old hospital dietaries, and I should like to draw your attention to the first of these, dated 1742. The hospital dietary is given in detail. Breakfast remains unchanged from day to day; there are three dinners for the week. The energy values have been added. Breakfast. For each patient 4 oz. meal and 3 gills milk for pottage (786 Cal.) or a bap (morning roll) weighing 6 02. and 1 mutchkin (15 02.) milk (890 Cal.). Dinner. For each patient 1 oz. rice and a mutchkin and a half of milk (728 Cal.).
