b 34 If one evaluates the consumption of the individual food products with calories, it is apparent that in the protectorate per head and day of the population a good 2 800 calories are consumed against a good 3 Ooo calories in Germany (old age). However, the numbers are not exactly comparable, since in the proteltorate still a few, but not important food is missing, e.g. offal such as heart, liver, etc., rabbit meat, sago, buckwheat, cornmehi (Polenta), nuts, oatmeal and also skimmed milk. For these reasons, the distance between protectorate and Germany should not be about 200 calories per head per day, but perhaps only 150 to 100. However, the calorie consumption is certainly lower than that of the German Reich. This can easily be explained by the somewhat smaller size of the Czech Republic. However, this seems to contradict the fact that in the Sudetenland, which is predominantly inhabited by Germans, the caloric consumption is still slightly lower than in the Protectorate. However, it can be assumed that the above-mentioned kartoffel consumption for the Sudetenland has been used rather too low than too high. Probably this is the reason for the apparently lower consumption of calories in the SuDEtenland. In addition, the proportion of cities in the Sudetenland, which consume less calories, is considerably higher than in the protectorate (see Table 2). This, too, is undoubtedly reflected in the overall average consumption of calories in the sudeten land. Table 31 Calorie balance Protectorate Sudeten- Germany 1936 Total consumption of calories per head per day 2 336 2 781 3 041 of which vegetable in percent 69 percent 69 per cent of which animal in percent 31 percent 31 % 31 %. Of the total consumption of calories, about 69 percent of the total is accounted for by vegetable food in the pro tectorate and in southern Germany and 31 percent by vegetable foods. This gives the historical countries the same ratio as in Germany.
