00:00Hi folks, we Clampetts have been finding out about vittles, food in this bountiful land
00:11of ours and we've put together sort of a little show.
00:15I don't know if you've ever had to dig and plant and grow all the food you need to eat,
00:21vegetables and corn and wheat, pork and beef and fruit for sweets, all your vittles.
00:26No?
00:27Well, if you never did, it's cause the vittles growers grow.
00:31Thanks to the folks of the vittles growing industries.
00:35According to U.S. government figures, each farm worker today produces twice as much food
00:39as he did just 15 years ago.
00:41Well, eating's getting easier and much more fun.
00:50And when you've got your vittles growed, there's still a heap to do, cleaning, canning, smoking,
00:56drying, slowing down, you just ain't trying.
00:58Ain't it better when you're buying, vittles ready fixed for you?
01:02Thanks to the folks of the vittles fixing industries.
01:06Today we get more nutrition, abundance and year-round variety than ever before.
01:11Sure enough.
01:12That's right.
01:13Eating's getting easier and much more fun.
01:14When I used to go to get a bit of food, the choosing wasn't good.
01:24Not now.
01:26Why it's exciting just to look around in a store these days.
01:30Fresh garden truckers shining at you from the cooling bins, and meats, and mixes, and
01:36baked goods, and canned goods, and frozen things, things I never heard tell of, on hand
01:44when you need them.
01:45The modern food store is a veritable wonderland of taste, convenience and quality.
01:51Thanks to the folks of the vittles growing industries, eating's getting easier and much
01:56more fun.
02:02Just a few years ago, it cost the average family 60 hours of work to pay for one month's
02:07groceries.
02:08Now it takes only 37 hours.
02:10This is a bountiful country, especially in food.
02:13We eat better than anybody, and for a smaller part of our earnings, too.
02:17I've been studying up on this.
02:18An American family spends only 19 cents out of every dollar for food.
02:22English families spend about 29 cents.
02:24Russian, 50 or more.
02:26We got it real good thanks to the farmers, and the food fixers, and the grocers.
02:30Our food is a bargain.
02:31Thanks to the folks of the vittles growing industries.
02:32The vittles fixing industries.
02:33The vittles selling industries.
02:34Thanks to the folks of the various vittles industries, food is a bargain.
02:44You can read all about it on the backs of Kellogg's Corn Flakes packages.
02:48Food is a bargain.
02:50Eating's getting easier and much more fun.
