as it is for a horse to chew hay, A certain proportion of vegetables is necessary to us, besides which they are very nice, and there is no reason why one should not indulge one's desires; but to confine one- self to a vegetarian diet is not only unpleasant, but an evidence of lack: of self-control and playing tricks with nature. I do think that: all children should be trained to eat a little fat with their meat, for not only is fat good for them, but to me it is positively disgusting to see a person trini cff every little bit of fat and decorate the edge of the plate with it.
