ENGLISH FOOD DIET AND HEALTH FRENCH COOKERY EXTOLLED France having come through a rej cent influenza epidemic better than | neighbouring countries, an English I resident asserted that the national j French stamina is a consequence of j French food habits, French wines and . French culinary methods. In England. ! he added, malnutrition and frequent 1 weakening colds were due to English j cookery and dietary fads and customs. ! His sharp censure stirred the sea- ! son’s largest outbreak of letters to j ; the English Press. Unexpectedly, they f ! in general agreed with the critic and j ' went further and said worse—even dej nouncing afternoon tea as an “insult ■ j to the meal before and the one to j come.” j “Four meals a day—and meat consumed at all except afternoon tea—cannot be healthy for any stomach,” i wrote Lady (Alargot) Asquith, “and it is the more surprising that the i English should eat so much, because | the cooking is the worst in the world, i “Children from an early age are • urged to eat paps and pulps which ! they do not care for and cannot digest. | The fact that a child does not like ■ what it is asked to eat promotes acidity. Half the ailments that assail I us in later life come from the ignorI ant ritual of early diet.” ! “Cancer is much less prevalent in ! France than in England. Holland, Gerj many or Switzerland,” reported Edith ; Buckmaster. “If the French are less ! dyspeptic than we are. 1 suggest it is ! because they are less addicted to teadrinking. cakes and pastries and more addicted to salads and fresh fruit. They have only two meals a day and allow i a longer interval between them than ! we do." An Englishman who had lived sev- : eral years in France without indigestion reported that since returning to England he “had been a martyr to that distressing complaint. I must admit that I attribute my immunity over | there to abstention from tea. The light and early dejeuner, too. suited 1 me better than the heavier meal with ; which we begin the day.” TOO MUCH PUDDING! , “They miss out the pudding course,” ' j remarked another traveller, “and so i | escape the multitude of ills from a 1 sugary and starchy diet.” • j Each course in a French meal, said ! another, “prepares for the next and the ; diner is never served steak and kidney I pie followed by apple tart. An enor- • I mous proportion of abdomens on men | in middle age are due to wrong eating in youth.” “If the French are less susceptible to disease,” asserted one signing himself •Ar. D..” ••it is because they use so much more butter and fats in their cooking. L believe that a quarter pound of butter every day for every person would prevent most of the real tragedies of influenza." He had found patients 'butter starved.” ■ "The London Times,” summing up,

concludes that “old-fashioned English j 1 food is too heavy for modern life” and i “our cookery has fallen from tradition.” I The day of the valiant trencherman is apparently past in England, changed work and habits of business unfitting j tho old diet to minister to well-being i as well as it did in the robust, : leisurely times of the three-bottle gen- j erations. FOOD AND CHARACTER In such times the trouble was gout. Aloderns, who have gone to extremes : in response to advice regarding fruit and vegetables, have thereby sub- j jected themselves to rheumatism and i sciatica. Not smaller but more balanced menus ; are advocated; and it has not escaped : ! attention that a growing body of re- ! search points to diet as an alternative! 'of temperament. i When the excitable eat more eggs and meat, and when the phlegmatic j take more of the juices of fruit and i vegetables. they are emotionally I changed. Once it may have been true | that "the French are excitable,” and I | that it was diet that calmed them. What the English have to beware of iis that a lightened regimen may enj liven their reputed stolidity into i effervescence, thus disturbing that : , world which likes to have races keep ■ jto ancient classifications, i
