NEED FOR MEAT
PROTEINS AND CARBOHYDRATES
Much misconception prevails as to where the need for meat (or other proteid foods) is greatest, says “Scrutator,” writing in the "Sunday Times.’ It is less required for "doing hard work" than for growing. Adolescents need it more than adults. A young soldier, who under the Army's physical training is visibly expanding his chest and muscles day by clay, needs as much of it as he can get. An older man doing hard physical work will fare better on plenty of carbohydrates. The Irish navvy devouring mountains of potato is the model for him. But at every turn large allowance must be made for people’s habits. In diet you cannot easily teach an old dog new tricks. Your food benefits you more if you like it. Relishes have.genuine importance, as those who lament the vanished onion may realise.
