o TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ThurtdtT. March 7. 1937 Americans Float Food on Sea Of Alcohol, Nutritionist Says Br GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York '.IK A British authority on food says Ameri cans don't know how to eat or drink. "You float your food on a sea of alcohol," said Lord Boyd Orr, an internationally recognized authority on nutrition and medi cine and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949. Orr, a native of Scotland, said It astounds him to watch Ameri cans eat. One extreme is the quick snack at the drug store counter or the sandwich and coffee at the desk while a couple of telephones are going. The other is three or four drinks be fore we even get around to the first course of the evening meal. Orr is a hale man of 76 with . a hearty sense of humor and a pair of eyebrows bushy enough to make John L. Lewis envious. He is here with his wife, who is 75 "but looks only 55, '. for a few days' visit. Orr said the rest of the world should learn to eat as cultured Chinese do. This, as he outlined It, means very little to drink be fore a meal, but wine with various courses. "Finished off naturally with a glass of fine port," said Orr. Alcohol, he said, aids digestion ... if consumed with food. Plenty Of Tim "And," he said, "to go with the mixture, add plenty of time, pleasant surroundings, good talk. "No family arguments at mealtime. &nd, better not to eat, than to eat under strain or in anger. "You In America either must low the paiSa or go over the precipice. "What's your hurry anyway? Why don't you start enjoying the enormous wealth you have?" I talked with Orr at the of fices of Doubleday and com pany, which in the fall will pub lish his newest book, his first for children, called "The Won derful World of Food." Orr has served in Parliament, was rector and chancellor of Glasgow university, and from 1945 to 1948 was director gen eral of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization FAO. "I've been doctor, scientist, politician, and teacher," said Orr. "Now I've retired to mak ln an honest living. I'm a farm er" The talk with Orr covered a variety of topics. Some ex amples a On sex: "Sex and food are the two subjects of fundamental interest to all mankind." On medicine: "It has done re markable things ... it has in my lifetime added 30 years to the average life span." On old age: "My mother, when she had lived out her three score and ten began to worry. She thought God had forgotten her. But I told her the biblical refer ence to a life span of three score and ten referred to the wicked ... the Bible spoke also of the godly living to 120 years. Mother felt better after that." On dieting: "We're overdoing it. I don't believe in eating to excess, but a woman can become too thin for her health's as well as her beauty's sake. Each in dividual is different . . . some people are healthier with a little fat." On why he can't understand the American love for rare steaks: "I prefer a burnt offering to a bloody sacrifice."
