Excerpt from The Abingdon War-Food Book
I have read with lively interest John Wesley's "Thoughts" about food difficulties. The difficulties that he noted in 1773 are still with us. Some people have too much food and some have too little. Such conditions have always existed and always will exist under our present social organization - and perhaps under any possible social organization.
But at the present time we have newer and greater food problems; they are international problems. Now it is some nations, not only individuals, who have more food than is necessary, while others stand face to face with national starvation. Our duty, therefore, is a double one. We must try to solve in some measure the great international food problems and at the same time not forget those more individual problems of which Wesley spoke. And the solving of the greater will help us in the solution of the lesser problems, for the stimulus of the present international food situation serves to arouse the interest of everyone in all food problems.
