The family wage

Sir, —Apologies, “B,” but the subject is too vast, and space too limited to do it justice in these columns, because the whole structure of meals is involved. The "filling and satisfaction” from meat and refined starches, sugars, etc., is illusory and short-lived and contributes little to nutrition, energy and well-being. We wouldn’t have this great need to be "filled” so often if we gained real satisfaction from each meal; and this you could achieve by gradually changing to the foods which are “live,” not having been refined, tampered with, and added to. Since the

extra fruit will cleanse the system and the whole foods will strengthen it, you can further take from this “average” budget at least $1 weekly for medical expenses and $1 for liquor, tobacco and cigarettes allowances to buy meat, or to replace it with satisfying foods high in protein and/or iron, and including brewer’s yeast, wheatgerm, cottage cheese and nuts.—Yours, etc., CAPRICORN. February 5, 1971.
