Abstract
IT is no light undertaking to make a scientific study of the food habits of a nation, especially when that nation is at war and is sending vast quantities of its basic foods to its allies in a world which is also at war. The United States Committee on Food Habits is one of two committees set up in 1940 by the National Research Council at the request of the National Defense Advisory Commission, as part of the plan for mobilizing science for defence and war effort. Its report is published under the title, “The Problem of Changing Food Habits”*.
