Fish Flour Found
Fine For Food
ROME, dPI—Chile’s dieticians
have come up with something
new for the lunch basket—fish
flour buns.
Are they any good? Well—140
Chilean school children had them
for a month and apparently didn’t
know the difference.
The buns, slipped into the school
lunches as a test, were made with
10 percent of “flavorless, protein
rich flour made from fish,” the
Food and Agriculture Organiza
tion (FAO) reported Saturady.
They were described as “only
silghtly darker than ordinary
bread rolls” and “there was not a
single case of rejection or com
plaint by the children.”
