It's Impossible

You ask, Why should l buy Mapl-Flake? Why
not cook wheat food mvself?
Because wheat starch, to be digestble needs treat
ment that you can't give it.
Our wheat is cooked for six hours.
Then it is cured for 80 hours.
Then faxed as thin paper.
Then toasted 80 minutes at 400 degrees.
That is all done to make the starch soluble; to
separate the particles the digestive juices can get
to them.
This is not SO important when the stomach is
strong. But, when the stomach is weak, it is Of
vital Importance.
The question is this: Will you have food that's
all food, food that will all digest, shall part be
nourshnent and part be waste to ferment and breed
germs in the stomach?
There's the question of convenience, too.
Note the time required to partly cook wheat.
Mapl.Flake is ready to
Then the question of favor-how to make the
children prefer the food that is best for them. We
