Unpalatable Food
I am acquainted with families who have changed from a meat
diet to one that is impoverished. Their food is so poorly prepared
that the stomach loathes it, and such have told me that the health
reform did not agree with them; that they were decreasing in physical
strength. Here is one reason why some have not been successful
in their efforts to simplify their food. They have a poverty-stricken
diet. Food is prepared without painstaking, and there is a continual
sameness. There should not be many kinds at one meal, but all meals
should not be composed of the same kinds of food without variation.
Food should be prepared with simplicity, yet with a nicety which will
invite the appetite.—
