High Price of Meat

If people generally would accustom themselves to the use of the food products which God designed for the human family in the beginning, there would be little concern felt over the increasing cost of meat. It is possible to maintain the health and strength wholly upon a vegetarian dietary without the use of meat products. This is being demonstrated in the experience of thousands of people in various parts of the world at the present time. One subsisting upon grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables is capable of quite as hard manual labor and quite as taxing mental effort. Then, too, the use of these natural products of the earth is not attended with the danger in the way of disease that comes from the use of flesh foods. It is not often we hear of ptomain poisoning from the use of vegetables, fruits, or grains. Such poisoning, however, very commonly results from the eating of flesh foods. The products of the vegetable world constitute a saner, safer dietary than the flesh of animals.
