Divide Your Food Dollar In Five Parts Say Home Economists
Government home economists advise dividing each dollar into five food groups to maximize value. For a family of five, 26 cents go to milk and cheese, 25 to 20 cents to bread and cereals, 20 to 15 cents to fats and sugars, 15 to 20 cents to meat fish or eggs, with adjustments for adults and children. The leaflet warns that keeping to these funds prevents malnutrition and diseases like pellagra scurvy and rickets, stressing the need for sufficient and proper nutrition for health and work.
