THE MEALS WE EAT
THE NUMBER DOES NOT MATTER. LONDON, October 19. “I don’t cave a straw how many meals a man eats daily,” said Mr J. Grant Ramsay. principal of the Institute of Hygiene. “I knew one Frenchman who used to take 60 meals a day, but they were very small. The Frenchman declared that it was the natural way to live, as most animals pecked at food all day. "On the other hand I knew an Australian who went to the other extreme. He ate one meal every two clays, arguing that a lion took its fill and lasted on that two or three days. “Both these men,” added Mr Grant Ramsay, "were strong and healthy. The fact is that it is not a question of how many rnoa ls we eat. It is the class of food, and the having it regularly, that are important.”
