PALATABILIT
The Cheapest Diet Consists of
Omniverous Animal He Want
49, *** 49, ~ =
BY DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, Amer
ica's Greatest Food Expert.
There are two points in regard
to the diet in health which should
always be kept in view whether
one be rich OF poor. One is eff
cheney of nutrition and the other
palatability. These are two
things which are most important
from the mere point of nutrition.
A food should be of character to
nourish the body and at the same
time do it efficiently. Efficiency
also indicates economy.
Terrapin is probably as rutri4
tious as turkey, but it would be
poor economy, resulting IN poor
efficiency to recommend the gen
eral use of terrapin.
AS has already been indicated,
the greatest economy in food is
found in that diet which consists
chiefly of cereals, But man, being
by nature an onniverous animal,
at least this is the opinion of the
great majority of Investigators,
cannot have his dietic activities
confined to one class of substance,
as this would not be in harmony
with the principles of general
nutrition.
Wheat for instance is an eff
