Meat i'm the
Diet
Rv Brice Belden, NJ. D.

~ EoTGID food, ezemDlified by
meat does not occupy the
high position in diet which
was formerly the case. A study OF
the uutritional surveys in the
United States army camps reveals
much OF interest in this connection.
Protein is needed, but in much
smaller quantity than used to be
supposed
Il is the general Concensus or
opinion among the experts in nu-
triton who conducted these surveys
that an excess Of protein is unde-
sirablc In the dietary Of a hard
working man, since muscular work
does not involve destruction OF
muscular tissue beyond the amount
sustained by that tissue in muscU-
lar rest
The amount OF protein which is
held to be sufficient TO repair all
the wastes Of the body and 70
supply an adequate reserve Is 1S
per cent Of the total energy intake.
IL Is q matter Of Indifference to the
muscles whether they receive their
energy fr0m starch and sugar, or
from tat except that starch and
sugar yield their energy more
rapidly than does Fat. Hard mus
cuiar work, therefore. can be done
on high starch-suEsr diet or upon
q high fat diet. Muscular work is
done with less effort if there is 2
plentiful supply OF starch and
sugar, which are cheaper sources
OF muscular energy than fat
The small amount OF protein
-r-TrT e.
building OF muscular tissue than
immediate energy requirements. IC
taken in excess the body is en-
bsrrasscd, deleteriOus products are
formed, and disease is invited.
All the requirements for the
training Of soldiers. or for men in
the prime Of life doing hard muscu-
lar work, are met b. q dietary SUD
plying 13 per cent Of the total en-
erEy land material for replacing
waste) in the form OF protein. 25
per cent "a the form OF fat and go
per cent IN the form OF starch and
sugar.
This means that half OF the
amount Of meat that we used 70
think necessary is sufficient for our
bodily requirements. Not so very
long ago IL was an article Of faith
that those who expended a great
deal Of muscular energy required
large amounts OF protein IN the
form OF meat, although q had long
been observed that Italians did hard
manual labor on q vegetable and
rat diet and that the japanese per-
formed strenuous work mainly on
rice. Now meat and proteid food
generally have been relocated 20
their proper place Ia the sphere Of
nutrition. Indeed, our dietetic views
have been TeFOlutionized within the
past few gpoFl.
