In many American families at least one-third the food money is spent for meat.

That there are adequate substitutes which may be used to reduce the amount of meat bought has been already shown.

Saving of meat is one of the most important planks in the food conservation program; so here again there is no inevitable conflict between conservation and economy.

Some meat is desirable for flavor if it can possibly be afforded, but no economically inclined person should set aside more than one-fourth to one-fifth of the food money for it.

How much one will get depends upon the kind and cut selected.
