ENGLISHMEN ARE NOT
EATING MEAT EXTENSIVELY
LONDON, Jan., 23— Englishmen
used to be considered the greatest
meat eaters in the world. Now, de- 1
dares the Society of Meat Importers,
the average Englishman eats 33 per
cent less meat than he did betore
war. Unless he can be induced to eat
more of it, the country will be faced
with such a glut of meat as It
never had before.
The annual consumption of meat m
the United Kingdom before the war
«ns about 1,800,000 tons, say the im
porters. It ia now only 1.200.0th) tons.
And this they contend is due ent rely
to the high cost still maintained. En
glishmen and Englishwomen, too. are
just as fond of meat as eeer. but ‘hey
cannot afford to eat as much of it as
they used to.
