Book excerpt: Excerpt from Strength and Diet: A Practical Treatise With Special Regard to the Life of Nations In a small book, published early in 1904, dealing with the fundamental conditions for physical vigour, the following conclusions, among others, were arrived at in relation to the diet and well-being of nations: - That man thrives on almost any kind of diet common to a nation, the general conditions being favourable; That both races and individuals living entirely or chiefly on plant food, or on plant food with the addition of eggs and milk, are stronger and happier, other things being equal, than races and individuals living chiefly on the flesh of beasts; That frugal persons and nations live better and longer than others, and are more free from disorders of body and mind. The present volume gives in detail the evidence on which these conclusions were based. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
