What a man eats and the way nc
digests IL determine his happiness
TO provide himself with food was
his problem from the beginning OF
time.
II there Is one event in human
history that can be said to mark
the beginning or civilization 1t was
the discovery OF fire. On the
facade Of Union Station In WASH
ington. are inscribed these words:
Fire, greatest OF discoveries, en-
aiding man 70 live In various
chimes, use many foods and COM
pei the forces Of nature to do his
work"
Before the discovery or fire man
consumed raw flesh, he gnawed az
the roots of trees and chewed the
tender twigs. His teeth did for him
much Of the work that Is now &C
complished by cooking.
Whether the food we take comes
from the animal or the vegetable
world much of il is dense, fihrous
and indigestiHe. BY the mixture
or the various digestive fluids with
the many kinds OF food most OF
the valuable portions are prepared
for absorption BY the body. There
Is q certain value In raw foods
but cooking releases elements that
would otherwise 60 through the
body unused.
The fact Is. that proper cooking
adds tremendously To the food
value OF the things we eat; the
opposite OF this is true. too, that
improper cooking takes from the
value Of food Stuffs . Indeed. i'm
proper cooking has much to do with
the digestive ills of mankind.
In many instances 1t is what we
add TO foods in the cooking pro-
cess that brings about their de-
struction. In our desire To add
flavor to the food all sorts of
concoctions have been advised.
