One of the biggest mistakes about food
which people make is to forget that the
true value of food to anybody is the
measure of its digestibility. Half pound
of cheese is vastly more nourishing, as
regards its mere composition, than half
pound of beef, but while the beef will
be easily digested, and thus be of vast
service to us, the cheese is put out Of
court altogether for ordinary folks by
reason of its indigestibility. We should
bear this rule in mind when we hear
people comparing one food with another
in respect of their chemical value.-New
York Dispatch.
