VI.
Tomato cream soup or fancy tomato salad.
Vegetable pudding or legume roast, string beans.
Fruit tapioca with whipped or sterilized cream.
Nabisco or zwieback with black coffee.
The above menus are agreeable to the average healthy person. Those with a tendency to acidity or flatulent dyspepsia should avoid eating several different fruits at one meal, also leave out soft puddings at the end of a heavy meal.
A menu which is one-sided or combined wrongly, that is, one in which either protein, carbohydrates, minerals or fluids are provided in excess, leads to waste of nervous energy as well as to waste of nutritive material. A wrong combination creates an abnormal appetite for too much or too little food.
