Chocolate - a food | IT is now universally admitted that chocolate is a food--a sustaining food. During the war millions of tons of chocolate were sent to the Front. Our Canadian soldiers early found that eating chocolate was not only pleasing to the taste, but restored vitality and gave renewed energy. Brigadier-General L.W. Waller of the U.S. Marines, referring to the food value of chocolate, said--"I never went into a campaign without chocolate. I always have a few cakes in my haversack when I go into action. Men fight like the devil on chocolate. Seasoned soldiers take it on the march with them." It is a matter of actual scientific demonstration that one pound of chocolate produces the same amount of body-building nutriment as six eggs, a pint of milk and one pound of steak. As a ready, nourishing and sustaining food, chocolate is unequalled. Serve Chocolate as a Dessert. It is a splendid food. The Confectionery of Chocolate Industries of Canada |
