But it*s ridiculous even to consider reducing or unbalancing the diet by skimping or cutting it, especially the vitamins and calories. It should, instead, be expanded to include everything our bodies need all the way from the high chair to the coffin. And this can be done without enlarging the food budget, which in most cases can't take it anyway. For true cooking economy doesn't mean being tight or following the fallacious old Scotch maxim " Cook less and the family will eat less," but in learning the fullest use of all available foods and methods of getting the most out of them.
