TINNED FOODS
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
Sui.,—The New Health Society's inquiry into the effect of tin foods on health, showing as it does that no evil effects can be traced to the use of tin for preservative purposes, is of enormous industrial as well as scientific importance.
Whether we like it or not, in present-day conditions we have to depend in large measure on canned food. That being so, many of us would rather buy—and eat—British canned food than foreign canned food. And in the case of fruit, vegetables, and fish there is no reason why we should have to go abroad for our supplies.' British fruit and vegetables are admittedly the best in the-world, and within easy access of our shores there are very rich fishing fields which are still untapped.
By removing what remains of the prejudice against anything in a tin, the New Health Society has paved the way for a vast and profitable extension of canning in this country.—I am,
