FOOD AND THE RACE
NO NEW QUESTIONS. NO NEW ANSWERS.
CLIMATE and soil are the chief factors in the
production of race characteristics. Climate and
soil produce food.
Food builds the bones and regulates the stature.
Food forms the muscles and sustains their activities.
Food builds the brain, the heart, the nerves and all the great
bodily organs and is not only at work to replace damage and waste,
and repair deficiencies, but also supplies the guides and rulers
necessary to co-ordinate and direct all their activities down to the
minutest detail.
Food gives colour to the cheeks and supplies the pigment for the
skin, eyes, and hair.
Sterility or fecundity depend on food. Easy or difficult labour
depends on food. Infant and maternal mortality depend on food. Brain
power, body power, courage, stamina, the joy of life and depression
and suffering of disease depend on food.
Inherent racial characteristics are helpless to reproduce their
potencies with out suitable foodstuffs on which selective calls may
operate their choice. Want of sun shine, damp, cold, and the
hardships can be supported into perfect health by balancing these
deficiencies with special foodstuffs.
Food is the sustenance of life and supports all its activities.
Food and only food can give the figure beauty of form as it can
cripple into deformity.
More vital to its health, its capacities, and its continuity than are
the hospitals, social services, education or policies is-
THE FOOD AND THE RACE
Good health
