To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Meats In other respects, however, they cannot be regarded i^L^e as in any sense food of unusual merit. The mineral content is deficient in the same general way as that of the cereals, tubers and roots. It is especially poor in lime, but is unusually rich in phosphorus and iron, both of which are not very abundant in most grains or other storage tissues of plants. Muscle tissue con- tains but little of any of the three substances which are concerned with the prevention of the deficiency diseases..., a fact which is rather surprising, but which is well established by experiments on animals. Meats contain excessive amounts of acid-forming M^tsAre elements, and need to be properly combined with Formers foods rich in bases of mineral nature to give best re- sults in nutrition. Meats do not correct the defi- ciencies of a diet composed otherwise of seeds, tubers and roots, except in the improvement in the quality of the protein. It is easy to correct all of these defi- ciencies by the liberal use of milk and green leafy vegetables, but the latter do not add to the attractive- ness of the diet in palatability as do meats.
