Excerpt from What Foods Feed Us Those whose natural instinct is unperverted require no rules of diet, no hints as to what to avoid. By preference they choose what is really needed for building their body, repairing its waste, supplying its fuel, removing its refuse.

Excerpt from What Foods Feed Us Those whose natural instinct is unperverted require no rules of diet, no hints as to what to avoid. By preference they choose what is really needed for building their body, repairing its waste, supplying its fuel, removing its refuse. They enjoy simple and cheap foods, and need have little fear that they will be either starved, or over-stimulated, or clogged. Their physical conscience tells them alike what to take and what not to take. Most people, however, have disobeyed their physical conscience from babyhood till now. They may feel surely enough that they are ruining their bodies and minds by wrong choices and wrong amounts; they may decide vaguely to reform their ways; but when it comes to practical and positive dietaries they are at a loss; they have never been taught what builds the body and repairs its waste, and what does not do this, but rather supplies its fuel, or else removes its refuse; and what, on the other hand, is to be compared neither with bricks and mortar, nor with wood and coal, but is of little more good than a rubbish-heap or a spur! In a word, they may know something about weight and bulk, but they know little or nothing about value and balance. Let them suspect that they are eating too little, and their sole idea is to increase the weight and bulk - to eat more; let them suspect that they are eating too much, and their sole idea is to diminish the weight and bulk - to eat less.
