This work emphasizes the critical economic role of home managers, particularly in the context of food selection and budgeting. The text is likely aimed at American housewives, providing insights into their purchasing power and responsibilities. The opening portion of the manual lays the groundwork for a comprehensive discussion on household management, particularly focusing on food economics. It begins by discussing the importance of understanding the relationship between the cost of live animals and their meat prices, explaining how a deeper analysis is needed beyond surface-level comparisons. The text also addresses economic changes in food production and emphasizes the need for modern housewives to be savvy consumers who can effectively manage their family budgets and dietary needs. It encourages the use of quality food labels and outlines methods for efficient and economical meal planning, establishing a framework for the practical advice that follows in the rest of the book.
