During the last few years no one
class of food in the daily diet has
So increased, and that deseryedly, in
popularity, as fruit in it's various
forms People are beginning to I'M
derstand either from their own expe-
rience or the experience of their fellow
sufferers that diet of less meat
and more fruit and vegetables is con-
ducive to more internal comfort and
a longer lease of life. Nor is this all;
the butchers bill, which is usually the
heaviest on the list of food supplies,
shrinks materially when fruit and
vegetables are substituted. For those
who like variety the list of delectable
! dishes and combinations mainly COM
posed of fruits is a wide one that
never safes. AS the result of expert
ments made last year on strict fruit
arians under the direction of the Cal
ifornia agricultural experiment station
it was borne out that during twenty
eight days six persons of varying ages
and sexes lived comfortably and sat
isfactorily on a diet composed solely
of fruits. nuts, olive oil and honey,
some of them eating only twice dur
ing the day, while others ate three
-. hours
During this test the bodies of those
who lived on this diet were supplied
with the needed protein and energy
and maintained their normal health
and strength ar cost of from l5.1 10
AZ cents per day in accordance with
the amount eaten.
From this it may be argued that
fruitarian diet can be justified on the
grounds of economy, and food value as
well as palatability are esthetlc cohslu-
erations. With all their food VaIue'
