ice and wheat flour, 20% gram flour, 11% sugar, 10% nonfat dried milk, and 6-8% moisture. Processing equipment was donated by UNICEF. Soy flour and milk powder were donated by USAID. It will soon be offered in plastic bags at Rs. 7 to 8 per kg to reach a broader market. CSM contains 25% defatted or low-fat soy flour. Bal-Ahar contains 65% bulgur wheat, 25% groundnut flour, 10% Bengal gram [chickpea] flour plus vitamin/mineral pre-mix. Requiring 10-15 minutes cooking in water, it does not contain any soy. Use of CSM and Bal-Ahar is limited to food relief programs; they are not sold commercially. MPF (Multi-Purpose Food, formulated under sponsorship of the Meals for Millions Foundation in the U.S.) consists of 75% groundnut flour, 25% Bengal gram flour, plus a vitamin/mineral pre-mix. Containing 45% protein, it sells for only Rs. 3.5/kg and is thus the cheapest protein source on the market and one of the best. However it has not met with any real success. 7 plants have been authorized to produce MPF in India. None are operating at capacity and most are not operating at all. Total output, currently 600 tons/year, is purchased largely by OXFAM for the Meals for Millions Foundation. UNICEF is supplying an X-25 Wenger Cooker-extruder to CFTRI to experiment with extruded high-protein snacks. Note: The Wenger X-25 is a low-cost extrusion cooker / extruder. This is the earliest document seen (Jan 2011) that mentions the use of a low-cost extrusion cooker. The population of India has grown from 314.8 million in 1941 to about 533.3 million in 1969. Each year the population is growing by about 13 million people. Roughly 80% lives in rural areas. In terms of gross protein availability, the main sources produced in India (in million metric tons of protein) are: rice 3.03, pulses 2.69, wheat 2.49, groundnuts 1.12, milk 1.05, and jowar (sorghum) 0.91.

MEALS FOR MILLIONS, SOY, AND FREEDOM FROM HUNGER 98 © Copyright Soyinfo Center 2011 • Summary: This little periodical circular is 8 panels printed back to back on one large (36 x 22 cm) sheet of paper. Each panel is 22 x 9.5 cm. 150,00 readers. Brief chronology of Clifford E. Clinton: 1900 Aug. 3– Born in Berkeley, California. His parents were Presbyterian missionaries in China and he was a devout Presbyterian who attended public worship but never mentioned his denomination to others or in print. 1906 April–”Clifford’s father E.J. Clinton operated dining rooms and cafeterias in San Francisco. The 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed much of San Francisco, including E.J.’s business [which supported his family’s missionary work in China]. He managed to rebuild it. But both before and after this period Clifford’s parents took their family to the Chinese mission field for stays of several years each. “As a boy in China Clifford witnessed starving peasants and children scratching and scraping for food–sights he never forgot.” Note: He apparently never attended college. Rather, he worked in his father’s restaurants in San Francisco. 1917-18–World War I–He served as a sergeant in the Tank Corps. His commanding officer was Major Dwight Eisenhower. 1930?–By the time Clifford E. Clinton sold his interest in the cafeteria company founded by his father in San Francisco, and in which he himself had worked all the jobs up to president, and had come with his wife Nelda and three children (Edmond, Jean and Donald) to Los Angeles to start Clifton’s in 1931, he had already decided on the philosophy and policies which would govern Clifton’s and his entire approach to business. “‘If I was only in business to make a living, I wouldn’t be interested,’ he said to his wife. ‘It is only a platform to reach out from... to render service... to help others... to help mankind.”’ 1931 July–He founded Clifton’s cafeteria in Los Angeles. As a result of his experience with hunger in China, “he pledged that no person would be turned away hungry, even if without funds.” “In his first Operation Manual (1931), Clifford Clinton addressed the following words to his associates: “‘In twenty years association with a business (in San Francisco) one can observe many things. “‘One of the things I have observed is that a successful dining place must be more than just a place to eat. “‘It must have some personality, a character, which makes people love it like an old friend... “‘Such a personality cannot be purchased with equipment, nor applied with the paint on the walls... “‘This personality, Ideal, and character, must spring from an inner something which exists in every person... This Ideal must be “The desire to be of service to our fellow man.”’
“The first Clifton’s cafeteria was located at 618 S. Olive St. in downtown Los Angeles. Tropical in decor, it opened its doors in July 1931 and was called Pacific Seas. In the basement was a place for meditation called The Garden, where guests were welcome to visit and linger in a replica of the garden at Gethsemane. Attendants in First Century costumes guided visitors through The Room of the Weavers, thence into The Grotto of the Rock, where the recorded words of ‘The Influence of One Life’ could be heard, and, finally into the Garden itself where they could view a statue of Christ in prayer under an ancient olive tree.” “In the years 1931-1933 thousands of jobless, hungry men and women walked the streets. For a time it became necessary to establish an additional Penny Cafeteria at Third and Hill Streets, which served, at a penny a portion or for nothing to those without funds, over one million needy people, to help bridge the gap before the establishment of Federal Relief agencies.” 1935–Clifton’s Brookdale was opened at 7th and Broadway. Here, to this day, among flowing brooks and redwood trees, guests were invited to pause for a moment’s meditation in a little stone chapel, where they may view a beautiful forest scene made of 10,000 miniature pieces, while listening to an inspirational recorded message ‘Parable of the Redwoods.’ “In later years other Clifton’s locations grew up–at Lakewood, West Covina, Midtown Los Angeles (Hoover St.), and Century City. While these are more contemporary in decor than the original locations (Pacific Seas closed in 1960), they are animated by and reflect the same basic policies established by Clifford and Nelda Clinton at the beginning–such policies as: ‘Dine free unless delighted,’ ‘No guest need go hungry for lack of funds,’ and ‘Food for the soul is important too.’ And well and good, these ideals–fine as an ethical standard, but why mix all this into daily business operations? Why not conduct business as business? These questions were asked in the early years and are sometimes asked today. Clifford Clinton replied: “‘Business is many things to many men... To us business is not a compartment shut off from other interests. It is a part of our life. We see no reason why our other interests and ideals should not be part of our business... We believe that everything contributing to a better life should be applied to business. It is only when the best fruits of religion are assimilated into our business, our pleasure, our politics, our lives, that they have complete moral and spiritual justification.’ “Clifford Clinton aimed at nothing less than trying to apply the principle of the Golden Rule to his business, though, as he put it to his associates, ‘We shall not permit a high purpose to make us solemn or preachy. We shall live normal, healthy, happy lives–have fun at our work. The MEALS FOR MILLIONS, SOY, AND FREEDOM FROM HUNGER 99 © Copyright Soyinfo Center 2011 Golden rule is the rule for happiness and self fulfillment– not for prudishness, intolerance, self-denial.’ He always had a large capacity for fun, play and enjoyment, and imparted it to others. He generously shared that ‘inner something’ within himself.” A portrait photo shows Clifford E. Clinton in his later years. Continued. 227. Clifton’s Food for Thot (Los Angeles, California).1970. In memory of Clifford E. Clinton, our founder (Continued– Part II, 1936-1938). No. 1985. March 12. 8 p. • Summary: Continued: 1936–”CIVIC: Clifford Clinton believed in serving not only his business patrons and associates, but his city as well. Los Angels had been good to him and his family. He owed something to his community from which he drew his livelihood. That is why in 1936 he accepted County Supervisor John Anson Ford’s call to duty as chairman of a special committee to investigate waste and mismanagement at the huge L.A. County General Hospital. A saving of $120,000 a year resulted. “This, however, brought a backfire from politicians who wanted Clinton to keep hands off civic affairs and stick to his business. Reprisals were directed against Clifton’s and against Clifford Clinton–his person, reputation, home and family. “In 1937 Clinton served on the county grand jury and joined in a minority report which exposed graft and corruption of public officials. This led to the bombing of Clinton’s home, the bombing of investigator Harry Raymond, and the recall of the then mayor of Los Angeles. “Clinton was chairman of a citizen’s committee which led the movement for honest local government. It was called CIVIC, was a non-profit corporation, had its office in the basement of one of Clinton’s cafeterias, had as one of its members the Rev. Bob Shuler, and had two slogans on its letterhead–’We will fight for the Ideals and Sacred Things of the City, both alone and with many,’ and ‘Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty.’ Note: In 1932, as the Great Depression worsened, the Emergency Relief Administration (ERA) was created by President Herbert Hoover. In May 1933 it was renamed the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) by the Roosevelt Administration, as a result of the Federal Emergency Relief Act (FERA). In December 1935 it was replaced by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). “At times many feared Clifton’s bankruptcy was inevitable. In one ninety-day period 10,000 persons availed themselves of the privilege of dining free at Clifton’s. “The 1938 mayoral recall campaign and later campaigns brought a deluge of accusations, frame-ups, jailings, stonings and bombings against Clifford Clinton, his business friends, investigators and witnesses. Nevertheless, the CIVIC Committee was privileged to serve in a vigorous way in four successful state, county and municipal
