FAO... LET THERE BE BREAD

1. A new excitement has been added to the queer race that Man has run against himself down through the ages, testing whether he can produce food fast enough to feed his fast-growing family.

2. In the past the race has never been a contest.

3. Never, in all the yesterdays since he clambered out of the primeval ooze, has Man the Provider caught up with Man the Procreator: there has been famine somewhere in the world in nearly every year of recorded history.

4. Even today after twenty centuries of Christian Enlightment, half man's family goes hungry and vast numbers of them are actually starving death.

5. Nevertheless, the race has suddenly grown closer, close enough to be charged with suspense.

6. For the Provider has latterly been getting expert coaching from the sidelines and, despite the fact that the Procreator, running strong and easy, is adding to his family at the unprecedented rate of nearly fifty million a year, the gap is steadily closing.


 

7. The coach responsible for this remarkable turn of events is the Food: and Agriculture Organization, more familiarly known as FAO, a specialized Agency of the United Nations,

8. And for its achievements in this crucial contest it richly deserves two heers.

9. Not least of all because when it comes to the categorical imperatives of eating, every quack can be an expert and, in consequence, FAO operates in an area where lunacy often passes for logic.

10. As its name suggests, FAO worries even more about the eater than about the farmer.

11. The emphasis is natural enough, for farmers (and fishermen and producers of food generally) comprise only about three-fifths of the world's gainfully employed; but we all eat and, to hear FAO tell it, most of us eat wrong.

12. I was, indeed, out of concern for the well-being of eaters the world over that FAO was born.

13. First there was the calorie, invented in the 1890's by an America agricultural chemist named Wilbur Atwater.

14. Then came the vitamin, discovered in 1911 by a Polish-born American biochemist named Casimir Funk.

15. Calorie and vitamin together ushered in the wondrous era of nutrition, which, wigged and bearded as a science, got us all to thinking of our diet.

16. T the agricultural economists, however, nutrition was more than a science of diet; it was a signpost pointing the way to an economy of abundance.

17. Thanks to nutrition, they considered, farmers could be spurred to greater production of selected crops, international trade would flourish, and all the world would eat better.

18. Throughout the 1930's they urged a marriage of health and agriculture when the war came, with its urgent demand for bumper crops, they had their ideas already formulated
