The Well-Tempered Meal
A bit of everything, not too much of anything: it is the belief of the new diet system, the right way to live, according to professor Albert-Francois Creff. “I am convinced that a varied, balanced diet, combined with regular physical exercise allows you not only to keep fit (keep in shape), but also prevents and cures some illnesses. If the French knew how to eat properly, they would take care of their cholesterol, constipation, and imagined bilious attacks such as indigestion or rheumatic pain, which are caused probably, or at least partly, by a diet lacking in Calcium. For the last two years, we have been limiting our milk consumption, so we have been losing the ability to digest lactose. It's all the more upsetting that besides calcium, one litre of milk contains 35 grams of protein what is as much as 140 grams steak for only 4 francs. It's a shame that dietotherapy which has to lean on sitiology, the science of food and nourishment, is not taught at school. However, Aristotle claimed that it is never too late to
learn how to eat.
