Reader's note

Our vintage books make beautiful literary gifts. Health-Giving Dishes by Bertha Brupbacher-Bircher 1942 is a delightful dose of culture and a lovely gift for you or your favourite foodie. ‘Animals live on plants in which the energy of the sun is stored and thus use up the vitamins. Meat (the flesh of slaughtered animals) is accordingly poor in vitamins. Some vitamins are stored in certain organs of animals, e.g. in the liver, but these organs are for other reasons unfit for man. All kinds of meat, as well as fish and poultry, bring about a slow decay of the vital tissues of the human organism. Meat therefore does not give strength. The idea that it does is due to the simulative effect of dead albuminous substances and other products of decomposition. To sum up, meat cannot strengthen a weak constitution, it cannot cure disease, but it does in time undermine the organism and bring about many illnesses. Animal flesh nourishes beasts of prey, for they devour it living, with the blood and bones, but butcher’s meat, cooked and prepared for the use of man, is no proper food for him. If a human being tried to feed on nothing but cooked meat, he would die as speedily as one who had no food whatsoever.’ A gem among a bounty of stunning vintage books and classic novels on our online used bookstore.
