Materials Specific Details

Great esteem for gourmets; time was when eating was a necessity, now there has developed a spiritual side to food; bodies of gourmets may suffer in the cause of the art, but martyrs rise above handicaps; Department of Agriculture continually striving to satisfy their desires; all wealthy people ought to be regimented to eat only the delicacies, rich food, as in Germany (this would help solve the surplus problem and the farmers would love them for it), leaving for the common folk the wholesome, necessary food.
