Economy guide shows protein cost differences in meat
The Agriculture Department publishes a guide in Family Economics Review comparing protein costs of beef and turkey portions. It notes that beef servings cost about three times turkey for the same protein and that cheap meats like frankfurters offer little savings. Prices are from August 1972, with beef round at 1.51 a pound and frankfurters at 91 cents, both delivering about 20 grams of protein per serving. In other news, John A. Scali, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, married Denise St Germain in a Spring Valley, Maryland ceremony officiated by Chief Judge Gerard Reilly. Scali took over as U.N. ambassador on February 20 after presenting credentials to Secretary General Waldheim.
