Cereals

Buy cereals in variety. Be sure to include a generous proportion of cereals made from the whole grain. These contain elements of nutrition that are lost when the outer coat is removed, and also furnish part of the necessary roughage in the diet. Such cereals are especially desirable when it is difficult to use as much vegetables and fruits as these rules call for.

FAT

For each grown person, every day, buy at least one and oneounce of half ounce of fat (butter, shortening, oil, cream, fat from meat, etc.). For children buy at least one-half that much, unless the child is getting a quart of whole milk daily; in that case, he is getting a large part of his fat allowance in the milk.
