I am convinced that the amount of protein presented in the sample bills of fare is sufficient for the average individual, provided the food is properly masticated, digested and assimilated, and not forced down by artificial stimulants and poisonous beverages. The amount of carbohydrates and fat required differs greatly with different temperaments and individual peculiarities, and must be determined by the individual himself. Those who can use a considerable amount of cereals and fruits require less fat, while others who are not so well able to digest large amounts of starchy foods and fruits require more fats. Cooked foods are more easily digested than raw foods, but the nutritive value is very definitely influenced by the process of cooking; therefore it is important to consume as much food as possible in the raw state.
