Science often learns more from mistakes than from successes.
About two years ago a Scotch biologist fertilized a closed-off arm of the North Sea with superphosphate and sodium nitrate, greatly increasing the plant food supply and the number of fish. A study made of young children from four to ten years of age gave evidence of inherent differences in the taste for alcohol. Most of them did not find the taste pleasant, but eight per cent of the children actually liked solutions submitted to them which contained as much as 50 per cent alcohol. Probably no single factor is more important in determining the outbreak of cancer in the predisposed than high feeding. Many indications point to the gluttonous consumption of meat as likely to be especially harmful.
