It has been pretty well established that man cannot live in health and comfort and enjoy life on a vegetable diet alone. As before stated, it would take a peck of white potatoes a day to give a man sufficient proteids for laborious work. He may get everything from vegetables, but not sufficient for a balanced ration from a reasonable amount of food. Vegetarians are usually fanatics, non-producers, but, as a rule, take care of their health and do not dissipate, - commendable qualities surely; and if they would only live on a scientific, well-balanced ration, they would, as a rule, live longer, be happier, and be more useful citizens. Those who live only on vegetable food, and on that food which destroys no life to get it, such as eggs and milk and its products, can get a well-balanced ration, and surely will be better and happier than those who take an omnivorous diet unscientifically chosen in quantity and quality and ravenously eaten. We cannot argue that the ancient Britons subsisted on roots and nuts and the spontaneous productions of the ground, or that certain savage tribes live on vegetables alone. Providence provided and does provide a complete ration for them in some way and at some time, if not regularly, or they would never be the sturdy races they were and are.
