Food Rations and Communal Canteens in Brussels
The report details Brussels communal kitchens and baby canteens, with 14 adult kitchens and 13.7 canteens for adults, plus 18 kitchens and 34 canteens for children under three. Adults receive meals twice daily from these kitchens, while babies are served under a separate organization. Mothers must present children to communal doctors on duty to ensure proper feeding and adherence to ration tickets. Five types of tickets govern rations, with late-life tickets mainly for milk. The city relies on dairies run by communes, and the destitution level is illustrated by large lines of mothers and children at canteens. In industrial districts, more than half of residents access communal canteens. Brussels consumes 3,000 sacks of flour daily, though only 921 sacks were on hand at a prior point, with up to 15,000 sacks observed recently, suggesting several days of supply. Additional remarks cover unrelated notices and advertisements.
