Abstract
THAT the social and economic aspects of national nutrition are evoking great public interest was shown by the crowded audience at the joint meeting of the Engineers' Study Group on Economics (E.S.G.) and the Association of Scientific Workers, held on March 31 at the house of the Royal Society of Arts, London. In a short introductory speech, Sir Richard Gregory urged the importance of investigating the causes why commodities that can now be produced in abundance, thanks to science, are not available in sufficient quantities to raise the standard of living of the people. He then called upon Dr. E. H. Tripp to present and explain the Group's report on “The Design of a Family Budget, with special reference to Food”.
