Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
There is real common sense in diet reform in this counsel, and it calls for the subject to be studied broadly and deeply rather than narrowly enforced. It is impossible to lay down one unvarying rule to regulate everyone's habits in eating. No one is to make himself the standard for all, nor to criticize others because their practice is not in every respect like his own.
Not all can eat the same things, for what is palatable and wholesome to one person may be distasteful and even harmful to another. This difference applies to milk, which some are unable to use while others thrive on it. It applies also to peas and beans, which some cannot digest while others find them wholesome. It applies likewise to the coarser grain preparations, which are good food for some while others cannot use them.
