"The Natural Food of Man" by Hereward Carrington is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book presents a comprehensive argument for a diet based primarily on fruits and nuts, equating these with what Carrington asserts is the original and healthiest food source for humanity. Through a detailed examination of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and hygiene, the author aims to convince readers of the health benefits of rejecting flesh and other animal products. The opening of "The Natural Food of Man" establishes Carrington's viewpoint on the importance of diet to health, particularly in the wake of economic hardships. He emphasizes the need for correct dietary knowledge to reduce suffering and maintain well-being inexpensively. Carrington outlines his premise that the human body is best suited for a fruit-and-nut diet based on its anatomical and physiological features. He argues that the consumption of animal products not only poses health risks but also reflects a deviation from humanity's natural dietary requirements. The opening serves as an introduction to a deeper exploration of the quality of food and its impact on overall health throughout the remainder of the volume.
