"And say, I have a loaf of bread and another day or two of
food left on hand. Maybe two can live as cheaply as one!

Competent authorities now agree that diet is the most
important single factor in the environment of all living
things. More simply stated: "You are what you eat!"
Stockmen whose livelihood depends on their skill in raising
superior beet; poultry-keepers whose success depends on the
egg laying abilities of their hens, have long known this.
It is incredible that, in the face of continuous
experimentation and demonstration of the amazing
improvements and benefits possible in animal husbandry, the
science of human nutrition has lagged so far behind.
Organic gardening - growing food plants with natural
composts and fertilizers as opposed to strong chemicals and
poisons - has proved again and again that more vigor and
greater resistance to disease and insect pests can be
developed in the plants and that their food value and
appetite appeal is greatly enhanced.
Scurvy, pellagra, beri-beri have long been recognized as
diseases caused by diet deficiencies. But how much more of
our ill health is due to faulty nutrition? A little
flourine in the drinking water may prevent tooth decay. A
little pantothenic acid in the diet may prevent gray hair.
Now scientists are discovering that certain elements in the
diet govern brain power and intelligence.
We are blind, indeed, if we cannot profit from this new
knowledge to make our own lives healthier, happier and
longer through a simple diet of easily available, natural
foods, properly prepared.
"Only one thing in life matters independence. Lose
that, lose everything. Get old like me, you'll find that
out. Keep your independence! "

"Old English"
