INTRODUCTION 3
The food value of Snowdrift

And the fact that Snowdrift is pure vegetable oil and nothing else means that it has the highest possible food value. Snowdrift not only makes things good to eat but is itself a more nourishing food than almost anything else you eat.
Snowdrift is much richer than butter, because butter contains salt and water and curds as well as fat, while Snowdrift is all pure fat.
You may be interested in the following table of calories which shows the relative fuel value of Snowdrift compared to the other things we eat:
CALORIES PER LB. CALORIES PER LB.
Snowdrift.........4050 Cereals ........... 1665
Oleomargarine.....3525 Beef. ............. 1275
Butter............3450 Eggs .............. 720
Bacon ...........3030 Milk............... 325
Cheese ...........1950 Vegetables..........229
Sugar ...........1860

There is more calory value in Snowdrift, pound for pound, than in any of the foods you cook with it.
