A Man Who Never Tasted Meat
A MAN WHO NEVER TASTED MEAT.—A correspondent of the Reading Eagle writes to that paper that about one-half mile south of Holmesdorf lives an old farmer by the name of Abraham Blatt, who is about 60 years of age, is healthy, robust, and as strong as a horse, who has never in his life tasted the least bit of meat of any kind. He says he never tasted beef, pork, mutton or veal, no kind of poultry, no kind of fish, no kind of game, in fact nothing pertaining to meat. He has such an abhorrence of meat that when they kill a beef or hog on his premises he generally leaves home and goes about other business. He is the father of a large family, all healthy children. Among the lot is also one boy, who, like his father, eats no meat of any kind. In reply to the questions put to the father how he could work so hard without eating any meat, he says he believes he is much healthier than if he ate meat. He uses very little butter.
