From the introduction to the revised (1951) edition:
"There can be no more shameful carelessness than with the food we eat for life itself. When we exist without thought or thanksgiving we are not men, but beasts."
It's amazing to read this book, where you hear the arguments of Mark Bittman, Michael Pollan, and Alice Waters pre-dated by sixty years. Basically, she's saying: cook real food & eat it, even if times are tight. Especially if times are tight.
