FRESH FOODS
IMPORTANCE IN NUTRITION.
Addressing a national conference in London on the “Wider Aspects of Nutrition,” Major-General Sir Robert MeCarrison stated that a well-constituted diet of fresh, natural foodstuffs contained all things needful for normal nutrition, so far as food was capable of supplying them, always provided that those derived from agriculture were produced on soils that were not impoverished. Certain races of his acquaintance had discovered that truth for themselves centuries ago, in spite of their ignorance of calories, proteins, or vitamins. Their diet had a particular interest for the British people. It consisted of whole meal grains, milk and its products, pulses, green leaf and root vegetables, fruit and meat occasionally. He was less concerned with the components of those foods than with their freshness.
