Home Economists at Work
Because many immigrant working class children were not able to finish
public school, the message about nutrition tended to reach middle class
children. It was in the college setting that these students learned more
about proteins, nutrients, and calories. In this 1917 photo, students
in a food laboratory in the home economics building at Cornell are preparing
100-calorie portions of food.
