I will say, however, that in many cases one can enjoy and profit by a breakfast of fruit. The question of how to eat is closely related to the question of how many meals one should take. Overeating is a very prevalent failing. There is no question that large numbers eat themselves, as it were, into a condition of stupor.
Honest men cannot abide the hot-house atmosphere of their self-conscious virtue. Nothing is more discouraging to robust virtue than the criticisms of teachers of ethics, who live in coddled comfort, upon private means, and other people's ideas. Germany is just now suffering from the spasms of moral colic, due to overeating. All luxury is in one form or another overeating.
Potatoes are best eaten in combinations such as given for cereals. They are commonly taken with meat and bread. This combination is one of the causes of overeating. Occasionally they may be eaten with flesh, but this should not be a habit. Take them as the main part of the meal. Baked potatoes and butter with a glass of milk make a very satisfying meal.
When ill it is necessary to consume much food to regain lost health and strength. "Eat all you can of nourishing food," is a common free prescription, and it sounds very reasonable. The physicians of today are not to blame for this belief in overeating, for they were taught thus at college, and very few men in any line do original thinking.
Besides, the art of burning to bedrock still lay in the womb of the future, and the men of Forty-Mile, shut in by the long Arctic winter, grew high-stomached with overeating and enforced idleness, and became as irritable as do the bees in the fall of the year when the hives are overstocked with honey. There was no law in the land. The mounted police was also a thing of the future.
The question has also been raised as to whether the common habit of eating three times a day is best suited to all classes of people. Many people of weak digestive organs have been benefited by the plan of two meals a day, while others adopt the plan of eating one heavy meal and two light ones. Either plan gives the organs of digestion more time to rest and diminishes the liability of overeating.
From what do we get body-building foods? In what is starch found? How much water does the body need? Where have people been made sick by using bad water? How can we prevent sickness from bad water? What harm does overeating do? What can you say of beer as a food? =Meats.= Beef is the best of all meat for food. Nearly one fifth of it can be used to repair the worn-out parts of the body.
In this matter of food, the danger lies in overeating and not in lack of provender. The business of Armour and Company is to buy from the producer and distribute to the consumer. So Armour and Company have to satisfy two parties the producer and the consumer. Both being fairly treated have a perfect right to grumble.
In spite of the apparent overeating of the brain-worker, I believe the farmer and the manual laborer break down at an earlier age, for the reason that they overwork and generally eat when too tired to digest fully: the farmer is rarely content to do one day's work in one day when the crop season invites him to make the most of fair days.
I have noticed many times that children are satisfied with less of whole wheat bread than of white bread, and that the brown unpolished rice satisfies them more quickly and completely than the polished rice. In other words, depriving the foods of their salts is one of the factors that leads to overeating. Simplicity is a great aid to moderation.
