Good Health may know what it is
talking about, but, if it does, the
average human anatomy is sadly out

can say this of raw potatoes and I'M
cooked meat 1t might be that by
hard practice for a few generations
the human race might become lovers
Of the raw, and the cooked become
distasteful to them. Possibly a
change of this sort could be wrought
in a person during his lifetime. But
it could only be through a change in
his digestive nature fitting itself to
new conditions.
We have been told that the palat-

food is said to set the digestive
glands working, while a disagreeable
one has the opposite effect. In view
of this the superior quality of the
raw article seems a trifie dubious.
