Tip For Singers
The latest "scientific" theory is that meat eating is harmful to the vocal chords. The British, the argument goes, eat more meat than most other nationalities, and good singing voices among them are few. Whereas in Italy good singers are the rule rather than the exception. The average Italian diet consists mostly of cereals and vegetables. As further proof of this theory its supporters offer the fact that birds with the sweetest notes are vegetarians, while the carnivorous birds, such as eagles, hawks, and vultures can only utter harsh, . croaking sounds, But what does a lark live on?
