Excerpt from The Planning of Meals, Vol. 11
The work done by the Russell Sage Foundation in New York City, by the Massachusetts Commission, and by the British Board of Trade, on the cost of living all agree that a minimum income for a decent standard of living is not less than $600 per year for a' normal family of father, mother, and three children, - a girl of ten and boys of six and four.
This means an average of 22 cents per person per day for food.
The New York Report says further that with an income of $700 or $800, if 25 cents per person per day is spent for food, a family can barely support itself, and that $825 per year is required to maintain a decent standard of living. It is interesting in this connection to note that statistics show that 60 to 70% of adult males earn less than $600 per year.
