That Great Intelligence, which is in all and through all, has in reality
practically settled the question as to what we shall eat. In ordering
the affairs of nature, It has decided that man's food shall be according
to the zone in which he lives. In the frigid regions of the far North,
fuel foods are required. The development of brain is not large, nor is
the life severe in its labor-tax on muscle; and so the Esquimaux live
largely on the blubber and fat of aquatic animals. No other diet is
possible to them; they could not get fruits, nuts, or vegetables even if
they were disposed to eat them; and they could not live on them in that
climate if they could get them. So, notwithstanding the arguments of the
vegetarians, the Esquimaux will continue to live on animal fats.
On the other hand, as we come toward the tropics, we find fuel foods
less required; and we find the people naturally inclining toward a
vegetarian diet. Millions live on rice and fruits; and the food regimen
of an Esquimaux village, if followed upon the equator, would result in
speedy death. A "natural" diet for the equatorial regions would be very
far from being a natural diet near the North Pole; and the people of
either zone, if not interfered with by medical or dietary "scientists,"
will be guided by the All Intelligence, which seeks the fullest life in
all, to feed themselves in the best way for the promotion of perfect
health. In general, you can see that God, working in nature and in the
evolution of human society and customs, has answered your question as to
what you shall eat; and I advise you to take His answer in preference to
that of any man.
