American Table Delicacy
Unknown to More Than
Billion in Other Nations.
Chicago.—Sixty per cent of the
population of the earth, or 1,032,000,-
(XK) people, do not use butter and a
considerable per cent have never
heard of it.
This doubtless will astonish persons
unfamiliar with the history of foods
and accustomed to butter on the home
table since infancy. Similar popular
myths-prevail regarding the length of
time coffee, tea, and tobacco bave
been numbered among civilized lux
uries. The addiction of European
people and their descendants on this
side of the Atlantic to these pleasant
stimulants dates back only a few hun
dred years. All the conquests t'.nd
great exploits of the ancient and
medieval world were achieved with
out them.
Butter as a spread for bread Is
used only in a comparatively small
area of the earth, chiefly In northern
Europe and America. In other parts
of the world, olive oil, tallow drip
pings and coconut oil take the place
of butter in cooking and as a table
dish. In China, Japan, India and oth
er nations of southeastern Asia, where
rice is the staple food, no butter Is
used and various fats and oils -are
added to the cereal to give it flavor
and nutritive value.
Margarine has been an established
article of diet in Europe and Amer
ica since the reign of Napoleon 111 in
France when Hippolyte Mege-Mouries
developed the method of manufactur
ing it. It was at first considered a sub
stitute for butter but now in several
European countries butter is a sub
stitute for margarine. In Denmark,
notably, one of the leading dairying
countries of Europe, it is almost a
universal custom among the farmers
to export their butter England and
use margarine on their family tables.
No prejudice exists in Europe
against margarine and the inimical
sentiment against it which developed
a decade or so ago in America and
which, from an economic view is dif
ficult to understand, is gradually dis
appearing. Margarine is a wholesome
food made under thoroughly sauitary
conditions and government inspec
tion. It is made only from the finest
oils, vegetable or animal or both com
bined, milk, and salt and, its manu
facture is a source of immense profit
to American farmers. As far as taste
goes, it is difficult for even a con
noisseur to distinguish between the
best quality of margarine and the best
quality of butter. As a spread for
bread, both butter and margarine are
considered by dietitians merely as
delicacies or what are known tech
nically as accessory foods.
"Given an ordinary, every-day rea
sonably well-balanced diet for the av
erage man, or child," says Dr. Wil
liam D. Richardson, internationally
famous scientist and dietitian, "it does
not make any difference from the
dietary standpoint whether the indi
vidual eats margarine or butter and
the one he chooses is entirely a mat
ter of taste, preference, or economy.
He may choose to eat one or the oth
er or neither without any appreciable
influence on his growth, health,
strength or physical or mental energy.
His diet usually is, and should be, so
balanced and varied that he is not
dependent on the small quantity of
fat which is spread on bread to make
It palatable."
