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.

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.
