TitleReports on a proposed National Laboratory for research into human nutrition
DateNovember 1918
DescriptionPrepared by William B Hardy with additional notes from D Noel Paton. Describes the need for a committee-managed institute for human research. Points out the new insights that the war has thrown on the importance of diet and how food distribution affects the 'social security' and political unrest of a nation -- the Food Committee's inability to calculate the physiological food minimum necessary to fix minimum wage because of lack of data -- the ways in which an Institute dedicated to nutritional research could help this goal.
