MEAT OR-

All food is good, hut some foods are better than others. Fashion, hacked by medical advice, decrees that, each of the better foods shall have their day. and oroe again *he wind of favour is blowing from the quarter beneficial to the meat trade. At a luncheon tendered by the English-speaking Union to American and Canadian doctors now. in a body of cOO, visiting England, Dr Woods Hutchinson (not the English food expert, hut an American medical writer) decried "the old nonsense about meat being had foU’certaiu human organa, and advocated a meat diet, placing it in food value alongside butter and cream.. Australians cat more meat than any other people appearing in statistical records, and they have one of the lowest- morbidity and death rates in the world. They make first class soldiers, shearers and riders, and play cricket quitei smartly, and for cheerfulness we cio not know their equal. It is probable ihat the Jews knew more of the correct preparation of flesh food than anv other lace, for diseased meat own seldom escape their rigid inspection, and their manner of slaughtering makes the possibility of the consumption of dangerously infected meat still more remote. The vegetarian must- work much harder gastideally and abdominally to obtain his nourishment than the meat eater, because he converts: the raw material produced by earth and situ and air into blood and tissue, whilst the meat eater allows, the flocks and herds to do this for him.—Star, Auckland.
