Diet and Disease

By Seneca

In the simpler times there was no need of so large a supernumerary force of medical men, nor of so many surgical instruments, nor of so many boxes of drugs. Health was simple, for a simple reason. Many dishes have induced many diseases. Note how vast a quantity of lives one stomach absorbs—devastation of land and sea. No wonder that with so discordant a diet, disease is ever-varying. Count the cooks; you will no longer wonder at the innumerable number of human maladies.—Seneca.
