A Look Through
STANDARD BREAD MAY BE NEXT WAR-TIME FOOD MOVE The "Telegraph"
-
THE question of the general introduction of a standard wholemeal bread, be- cause of its nutritious value, is being considered by the Ministry of Food.
Dietitians are urging that the whole of the wheat should be used in the bread instead of only the kernel. A cornmittee may shortly be set up to investigate the whole problem.
Mr. Lennox Boyd, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, gave a hint on the mat- ter at a recent Press conference when he asked what would be the reaction of the public to darker bread.
During the last war Lord! Rhondda, then Food Minister, had almost the whole of the wheat put into the flour, and the portion used for animal feeding! was thus greatly decreased.
There is, however, a shortage of animal feeding stuffs at pre- sent and this is one of the ques- tions which will have to be considered, whether the gain in human consumption will out- balance the loss to animals. What Happened
In The Last War
During the last war it was held that the greatest economy of cereals could be attained by diverting them as much as por=" sible from animal to human con. sumption.
Flour extraction from wheat was gradually increased from each about 70 per cent. in 1916 to 92
per cent. in 1918.

THE LIDO
Admixtures of barley, rye, maize, oats and rice were first allowed and then enforced up to 30 per cent. in June, 1918.
Bakers were also allowed to add potato flour. The dietetic value of the bread was said to be satisfactory.
