The Natural Food of Man Being an attempt to prove from comparative anatomy, physiology, chemistry and hygiene, that the original, best and natural diet of man is fruit and nuts

"The Natural Food of Man" by Hereward Carrington is a scientific argument advocating for a diet of mostly fruits and nuts, believing it's what humans were originally meant to eat for optimal health. The book uses evidence from the fields of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and hygiene, building a case against eating meat and other things that come from animals. The author believes that understanding the right foods to eat is key to good health, especially when money is tight. Carrington's main idea is that our bodies work best on a diet of fruits and nuts, and that eating animal products is both unhealthy and unnatural. He sets the stage for a broader exploration of how important food is to our well-being.
