...Fancy-packaged, usually fancy-priced preparations of unsaturated fats, to be taken as medicine or used in cooking, are usually no better than plain corn or cottonseed...
...they see no objection to milk, but no advantage in stuffing them with butter and ice cream. For adults, they would cut all three of these items sharply. The dairy industry, they argue, could actually increase its market by concentrating more on skim milk, low-fat protein milk and plain cottage cheese -good for all ages.

Also, U.S. makers export far more heavy electric equipment than the U.S. imports-$840 million exported, v. $61 million imported from 1952 to 1957.
