Take a written report to your teacher, listing the number and kinds of pieces cleaned and giving the method of cleaning. Put the date on the report. Then sign your name. 2. Make a floor plan of a dining room which actually exists, showing the arrangement of the furniture. If you think the arrangement is correct, state why you think it is. If the arrangement is incorrect, tell why you think it is incorrect. 3. Make a plan of the top of a buffet which actually exists, showing the arrangement of the articles on it. If you think the articles are suit- able for a buffet, state your reasons. If they are unsuitable, give your reasons. If you think the articles are well arranged, give your reasons. If you think they are poorly arranged, give your reasons. UNIT 3: LUNCHEON OR SUPPER CHAPTER XVIII CHOOSING A LUNCH AT SCHOOL — THE BOX LUNCH Can you answer these questions ? If not, look for the answers as you study this chapter. 1. Does a person’s food have any effect on the way he acts? 2. What is meant by a meat substitute? 3. Why is it objectionable to eat candy between meals ? 4. If candy is eaten, when is the best time to eat it ? 5. What do fruits contain that makes them one of the most valuable foods to include in your lunch ? 6. What are some reasons why fruit is an especially good food to carry in a box lunch ? 7. Why do box luncheons sometimes become monotonous? Hoy/ can they be made interesting ? 8. What are some ways of carrying milk in a lunch box ? 9. What hot foods are suitable to carry in a lunch box? How can they be kept hot ? 10. How old should bread be for sandwich-making? Why? Does food make a difference ? It seems hard to believe that the two white rats in Figure 79 are twin brothers. The differ- ence in their size, appearance, and disposition all came about because one white rat had the right kind of food and the other did not. Food made the difference. The foods that the distressed-looking white rat ate, with the exception of coffee, are nourishing foods. But they do not contain all the nourishing materials which the white rat needed. Vitamins, mineral matter, and other foodstuffs contained in milk, eggs, butter, vegetables, and Graham bread were needed to make the white rat grow and be healthy. 221 222 Luncheon or Supper There are many persons who live largely on a diet of meat, potatoes, bread, and coffee. They do not feel well much of the time ; they are often lacking in energy. The condition of the two white rats explains the probable cause of ill health among many human beings. If we want good health, we must eat the right kind of food.
