Therefore, for food groups which include a large proportion of food products which are mixtures of one or more food groups, the two sets of figures are not strictly comparable. These food groups are principally: flour and cereals, which in the form of baked goods may contain milk, eggs, fats, and sugars; sugars, sirups and preserves, which in the form of sugar are used in canned fruits and soft drinks (not accounted for in diet plans); fats and oils, eggs, and dry skim milk, which may be used in baked goods; nuts used in candies: cereal products used in sausages, bologna, etc. (b) Preliminary. (c) Non-fat solids equivalent. (d) Includes butter, bacon, salt pork as well as other fats and oil. SOURCE: U. S.

(c) Excellent diets meet in all respects specification of liberal standard. Good diets exceed the minimum standard by at least a 50% margin but by less than 100% in the case of vitamins. Fair diets meet the minimum standard in all respects but exceed it by less than 50% margin. Poor diets fail to meet the minimum standard in one or more respects. Because there were relatively few excellent diets, those graded excellent and good have been classed together in this table. |
