Excerpt from Odicus Cibi Medicus Sibi, or Nature Her Own Physician

When I was a child, few Englishmen of any class took meat (at least in any quantity) more than once a day. The three heavy dinners (called breakfast, lunch, dinner) which ruin the health of the wealthy now and maintain an army of quacks, as yet were not. I remember many years ago being alarmed by the ignorance (i think) of Lord Clarendon, who, as a member of the Public Schools Commission, asked every headmaster whether his boys had meat three times a day. Nowadays philanthropists, in insti tutions professing to help poor students, find it hard to make both ends meet, because forsooth brain work requires a 'generous' diet of meat and strong drink. So entirely forgotten are the laws of health taught and practised by saints and sages of all time.
