Food attitudes

Browsing through my late grandad's copy of Furneaux's Human Physiology (1940 edition), I found something interesting in the chapter on Food. First the author goes through the "Standard Forms of Food": milk, eggs, meat and bread. Then he briefly goes through the "Adjuncts to Food" - see the picture. He hardly considers fruit and vegetables to be food at all, which perhaps goes some way to explaining why, 70 years later, we still turn our noses up at them.

News release

Adrian George Bailey, esq. issued the following general statement to his female friends at 1236 hrs BST on Thursday 6th September, 2012: Although attempts at seduction can be quite tiresome, you may wonder, now I come to mention it, why I have never attempted to seduce you, and to put the record straight may I say that although I find you attractive, I don’t want to risk offending you or being rejected, I don’t want to risk being murdered by your current or ex partner, and, most of all, I don’t want to risk losing my wife. Thank you for your kind understanding in this matter. xox
