A GERMAN physician maintains that
both the vegetarians and meat-eaters
are on the wrong tack, that vegetables
are not more wholesome than meat or
meat than vegetables, and nothing is
gained by consuming a compound of
both. Whatever nutritive qualities
they possess, he says, is destroyed in
great measure, and often entirely, by
the process of cooking. All food should
be eaten raw. IF this practice were
adopted, there would be little or nc
illness among human beings. .s.
