The ordinary mixed diet with the addition of meat two or three times per
week is the safest method for most people who are compelled to work
eight, ten, or twelve hours out of every twenty-four and have to deprive
themselves of the proper amount of fresh air, sunshine and physical
exercise, which brings all the muscles and organs of the body into
proper action.

Inharmony, disease, and misfortune are largely caused by living a life
contrary to the laws of nature.

The fulfillment of high ideals must be accompanied by common sense and
judgment, so it becomes an evolution instead of revolution. The evolving
of man from the stage of a jelly fish to a being possessed of a bony
framework in an upright position by the eating of animals has developed
a higher self. After having reached this stage of evolution the nature
of some people has become so highly sensitized that meat, as a food,
becomes repugnant to them. What they need is a stepping stone. The very
food which has produced this state of over refinement or destruction
must be used for construction and minimized by degrees.

In examining the claims of the disciples of vegetarianism it is well to
consider those nations whose constitution and customs of work and
education resemble our own. And in doing so we find that while nearly
all European nations, as well as many of the Orient, practice moderation
in meat eating, still they are for the most part only "near
vegetarians," and therefore should not be used as examples in an
argument for vegetarianism.

It is possible for normal individuals under fairly normal conditions of
life to nourish perfectly their bodies on a vegetarian diet, provided
they are willing to live mainly on sun-kissed foods instead of on a mass
of sloppily-cooked, devitalized, starchy vegetables, and soft
nitrogenous foods that burden the digestive organs and produce obesity
and slow consumption.

I hope that the menus on the following pages will be a help to all who
seek simplicity from a standpoint of health as well as economy.

Some people think that we become like the food we eat. This
is true when the vibrations of what we eat are stronger than
the vibrations in our bodies. All food consumed has a
vibration of its own and unless the vital force within can
change the rate of vibration of the food eaten and tune it to
the vibration of the
