Abstract
Excerpt: Because of the discussion concerning the availability of rationed commodities for school lunch under the present CPA regulations, an effort has been made to show a variety of menus that could be used and be within the points allowable to school lunch programs. Also a comparison of the ration points required for this war-time lunch, a typical pre-rationing lunch and the estimated point allowance was made. The analysis indicates that the present point allowance is adequate to serve the "war-time" lunch and that the "pre-rationing" lunch is above the point allowance for both processed foods and meats, fats, and cheese. The logical conclusion is that our efforts should be directed toward effecting a change in the use of foods served in the lunches and that perhaps we are not justified in petitioning the OPA for an increase in the point allowance.
