Excerpt from Side-Stepping Ill Health
Small wonder, then, that for countless cen turies man has prostrated himself before a deity so inexorable, a Mumbo Jumbo so insatiable, as the God Of the Stomach. No marvel that he has declared allegiance to this three-pint water bottle Of muscle, that he has swung the pendulum so that instead of eating to live he has lived to eat.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to health written for a pre-1916 audience. The author's main concern is that most people die from overeating, not starvation.

This book's central message is that a moderate diet that leaves one feeling slightly hungry provides the maximum benefit for the human body. The author argues that a varied diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables is ideal for maintaining good health.
