Cottage Cheess An Inexpensive Meat Substitute. Cottage cheese is one of the im- portant meat substitutes, say special- ists of the U. §. Department of Agri- culture. It contains a larger percent- age of protein (the chief material for body building) than most meats and furnishes this material at a lower cost. In every pound of cottage cheese there is about one-fifth of a pound of protein, nearly all of which is diges- tible. Meats, on the other hand, us- ually contain less protein and besid have a certain waste, such as bone and other inedible materfal.
