If the nervous system is undernourished, it becomes disorganized and
undeveloped. This is apt to be expressed in uncertain emotional states,
quick tempers, and a predisposition to convulsions. The heart, if
undernourished, lays its foundation for future heart disease, and the
whole system will be injured for life.

Anything that impairs the vigor and vitality of children strikes at the
basis of national welfare.

[Sidenote: _The Food Administration Emphasizes This_]

You can see from this how extremely important it is that, in our need
for the conservation of food, only those who can deny themselves and at
the same time improve their health and efficiently should do it. It will
be no help in our crisis if the health and resistance of our people be
lowered and the growth and development of our children be stunted.

We, the hundreds of thousands of overweight citizens, combined with the
hundreds of thousands of the normal who are overeating to their ill, can
save all the food that is necessary. We are anxious, willing, eager to
do this. Now we know how, and we will.
