By John Smith

Book Overview

Fruits And Farinacea: The Proper Food Of Man is a book written by John Smith and originally published in 1845. The book is a comprehensive guide to the benefits and virtues of a diet consisting primarily of fruits and grains. Smith argues that such a diet is not only the most natural and healthy for human beings, but also the most ethical and environmentally sustainable.The book begins with an overview of the history of human diet, from the earliest times to the present day. Smith argues that throughout history, humans have always relied heavily on fruits and grains for sustenance, and that it is only in recent times that we have become so reliant on meat and other animal products.The book then goes on to discuss the nutritional benefits of fruits and grains, including their high fiber content, their low fat and cholesterol levels, and their abundance of vitamins and minerals. Smith also discusses the environmental benefits of a plant-based diet, arguing that it is much more sustainable and less damaging to the planet than a diet that relies heavily on animal products.Throughout the book, Smith provides practical advice on how to adopt a fruit and grain-based diet, including tips on meal planning, cooking, and shopping. He also addresses common concerns and misconceptions about plant-based diets, such as the idea that they are not sufficient for athletes or that they are too expensive.Overall, Fruits And Farinacea: The Proper Food Of Man is a pioneering work in the field of plant-based nutrition, and remains relevant today as more and more people seek out sustainable and healthy dietary choices.Being An Attempt To Prove, From History, Anatomy, Physiology, And Chemistry, That The Original, Natural, And Best Diet Of Man Is Derived From The Vegetable Kingdom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
