The Perfect Food
The Perfect Food
Is there one food that is ‘the best’ for the human species?
Even if there were a perfect food for the human species - we must be
realists and recognise that even if we prescribed the perfect food,
many people would not be able to take advantage of it and might feel
cheated or denied access.
The test of a perfect food
• An analysis will show that it has all the minerals required in
ample proportions.
• It must always be available - at all seasons - in a subtropical
climate.
• It must be suitable for a newly weaned baby - for youth - middle
age and old age.
• It must appeal to the senses of smell and taste.
• It must be palatable.
• It must require thorough mastication.
