We will deal with the “science of dietetics,” which defined, is “rational eating.” The diet should contain at least one representative of each of the following groups: Green and succulent vegetable; Meats, milk, eggs, fish, cheese, beans, peas, peanuts. Cereal grains and their products. Sugars, including these naturally oc curring in sweet dried. Fats, including mil fats; they have special importance. By choosing something from each of those groups we secure the essentials of an adequate diet, namely: Proteins to supply nitrogen. Prhici- palsdn this class, milk and meats.
