Healthy Foodstuffs (Foods That Nourish the Body)

A colour illustrated chart titled 'Foods that nourish the body' shows fourteen labelled food groups, among them pork, chicken, beans, snails, milk products, fish, beef, shrimp, duck, eggs, melon seeds, crab, cheese and dried beans. The closing line urges readers to eat several of these foods every day. It is a straightforward public-health instruction, with no named enemy or rival.
