...most of his 67 years, Scottish Nutritionist Orr has been trying to get more food to more stomachs. As chief of FAO since 1945, he has pleaded for governments to stop building armaments and use their money to halt erosion. He also demanded an all-powerful food board to divide available surpluses among the world's havenots. But no great nation has been willing to surrender such power...
...soybean product in the news last week was something called Multi-Purpose Food, developed in Los Angeles by Dr. Henry Borsook, Caltech nutritionist. To soybean grits (the material left over after the beans' oil is extracted), Dr. Borsook added minerals, synthetic vitamins, flavoring materials and hydrolyzed yeast. The mixture looks like speckled, light-buff cornmeal. It has twice as much high-grade protein as beef, and more vitamins. It lacks vitamin C (unstable to temperature changes) and is low on calories. But two ounces of the stuff, supplemented with leafy vegetables and a little bread or potatoes, provide...
...should be done. But the plain people of Europe, faced with an uncertain summer and the certainty of terrible winter, will hardly understand such nonsense. In Germany, gripped by a grave food crisis (see FOREIGN NEWS), potatoes meant life. Britain was still wearily debating whether or not the noted nutritionist, Dr. Franklin Bicknell, had been right when he said that Britons were slowly starving. In France, the daily bread ration had been cut from 10.5 ounces to 8.3 ounces, may be cut again, and Premier Ramadier told striking flour mill hands: "Each day without bread is a step nearer disaster...
...Maternal Health Association's new "Fertility Clinic"-a project of Cleveland's famed Brush Foundation which brings together previously scattered services-an internist, endocrinologist, urologist, gynecologist, nutritionist and psychiatrist have joined in a many-sided attack on the problem. To the young married couples who come to the clinic, they give thorough physical and mental examinations, prescribe special diets and hygiene rules. Sometimes they use surgery and drugs. Hormones may help, but endocrinologists have found no support for the idea that the "male hormone" (testosterone) increases fertility...
Crusading Plan. Such famine hazards were exactly what was on the mind of Sir John Boyd Orr, banyan-browed Scottish nutritionist and food crusader. To the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), of which he is director general, he was about to submit a plan which would free farming from gambling, he hoped. FAO, now only an advisory body, should enter the operating field, create a central financial system for buying any nation's surplus crops; it would eventually control production, fix prices, do away with the up-&-down cycles...
