我们重新评估英国工人阶级饮食在第一次世界大战期间的变化。1918年萨姆纳委员会在这方面的工作受到家庭调查缺乏一致性的限制。我们重新发现的1904年数据可以进行更清晰的比较。虽然卡路里摄入量保持不变，但我们发现熟练工人和非熟练工人之间的营养差距正在缩小。我们还发现几种关键维生素的摄入量减少。这些可能是食品控制系统的副作用。对于许多不受管制的食品，如水果和蔬菜，随着产量下降，价格急剧上涨，这可能是导致熟练工人维生素C摄入量下降的原因。
We reassess the changes in British working-class diets through the First World War. The 1918 Sumner Committee's work on this was limited by a lack of consistency across household surveys. Our rediscovered 1904 data allow a cleaner comparison. Although calorie intake was maintained, we find a closing of the nutritional gap between skilled and unskilled workers. We also find reductions in intakes of several key vitamins. These were possibly side effects of the food control system. For many unregulated foodstuffs, such as fruit and vegetables, prices rose dramatically as production fell, and this may have been what caused the fall in vitamin C intake among skilled workers.
