Is this not an example worthy

Eat Less and Eat II slowly.

Economic methods of eating are so
important and so automatic that it
really occasions some surprise that
more is not known about the matter.
Horace Fletcher in his famous A b z
books on nutrition, very wisely insists
upon the necessity of slow mastication
with abundant insalivation. 1t is real
ly astonishing how badly people use
the teeth nature gave them for this
purpose. Children naturally bolt their
food, so it is said, and adults retain the
habit. Not having the digestive power
of cats or dogs. which naturally bolt
their food, it results that much of our
food is undigested and wasted.
