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."

order that local musicians may

form with the symphony orch
estra. Arrangements for the audi
tions were made by the Phil
harmonic guild, with Mrs.
