Abstract
THIS is an admirably clear, well reasoned, and sensible little book. One can only hope that it may be widely read and may do something to counteract the ridiculous views on diet which are the result of the cogitation of that dangerous class of people who, having a little knowledge, supply the remainder from their own imagination. In spite of the importance of a suitable diet for health, there is perhaps no other subject which breeds so many fads. These are disseminated without discrimination by the cheap Press, and are assimilated by certain sections of the public who are always on the look-out for the latest new thing in the way of being different from their neighbours.
Fads and Feeding.
