Things are not that simple. Though about 120 million tons of feed grain is consumed annually by all livestock in the U.S., an unconsumed pound of meat does not magically send grain on its way to the hungry abroad. Someone - almost always the U.S. Government - must buy the grain and see to its delivery to needy countries. For the moment, President Ford has decided that the current...
PROFESSOR JEAN MAYER'S proposal to institute meatless days at Harvard deserves serious consideration. Eating meat is the most inefficient method of obtaining calories, since it takes about eight pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat. The world's grain reserves are at a dangerously low level, and the average American--who now consumes over twice as much beef as in 1950--is helping to deplete them even further...

The Food Services should help foster this change in eating habits by offering more non-meat alternatives, particularly vegetarian dishes that use high-protein beans and vegetables. Students should approach these alternatives with open minds, remembering that they are probably less likely to contract food poisoning from soybeans or lentils than from "breakfast steak" or "veal parmigiana...

Furthermore, since there is recent geological evidence that Ethiopia's Awash Valley may once have been part of the Arabian Peninsula. Johanson ventures an even more imaginative theory: the cradle of man may be Arabia, not Africa...

But, he adds, "You have to wean yourself away from the idea of a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a starch dish at every meal...
