| The derivation of food and nutrient intakes has been undertaken with [[http://www.mrc-hnr.cam.ac.uk/ | MRC Human and Nutrition Research (HNR)]] in Cambridge. The diet records were coded using the HNR in-house program, **DIDO** (Diet In, Data Out) and nutrient analysis performed using the in-house suite of programs. A preliminary scan of the text data files showed that there were many entries of non-specific “meat”, “vegetables” or “pudding”. Representative compositions for these were created, using a 33% sample of the records to obtain frequencies where these foods had been specified. | The derivation of food and nutrient intakes was undertaken with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRC_Human_Nutrition_Research | MRC Human and Nutrition Research (HNR)]] (now closed) in Cambridge.

| Thus the composite "meat" was 57% beef and 43% mutton. A composite "vegetable" was made up of 50% peas, 21% cabbage, 16% green beans and 13% carrots and a composite "salad" was 29% lettuce and 71% tomatoes. Rice pudding, being the most common one, was assumed for unspecified "pudding". "Bread and butter" was frequently mentioned but margarine was rare. However, in view of the rationing of fats, a composite was assumed, taken as butter (58%) and margarine (42%). Tea was assumed to be taken with milk and sugar. 160 of the children ate school or nursery dinners. From descriptions, a standard meal consisting of meat, potatoes, a vegetable followed by custard with stewed fruit or pudding was used for unspecified meals. One third of a pint of milk was added since this was distributed free to all school or nursery attending children. | Thus the composite "meat" was 57% beef and 43% mutton.
