[FROM THE AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION] This book has been made for the use of those people who wish to eat properly and really don't know how.
More and more we human beings are discovering that our own internal organs are of quite as much importance as are those of our motors, and that our happiness may depend as much on the proper care of a digestive tract as on the cleanliness of a carburetor or the proper oiling of a crank case.
But we Americans have bolted and stuffed rich food for so long that is amazing how very few of us know how to stop or what to do, when the family physician, treacherously upheld by our own inner selves, demands a change in the catch-as-catch can style of eating we have so ling enjoyed.
[FROM BOOKLADY COOKS] Over 100 years later, we still have the same problems - overeating, too many ideas competing for our attention. While we don't presume to evaluate the menus, we do still enjoy seeing how people ate in times gone by and most of the menus seem well-balanced.
There are two sections - Menus and Recipes. The Menu sections are divided by Reducing and Normal Menus and then by seasons. Take some time to explore what your great-great grandparents might have eaten when striving for health!
