SYNTHETIC FOOD
Some scientists have made the state­
ment that the time is not far away when
synthetic food will be produced to take
tiie place of all the various kinds of food
now eaten by human beings, and, sup­
posedly, animals.
Delay such an advent to the millenium,
as we do not care to see it. The efforts to
find all the qualities of food, that the hu­
man race may be benefitted thereby is
commendable, for then we shall always
be learning what is better to eat. But when
they flatly state that they have already
discovered all the properties of food or
will soon do so, it would be safe to bet
that they are taking in too much territory.
All persons eat to live. It is said of some
persons that they also live to eat. But near­
ly everyone gets much enjoyment in this
important duty of living and who are these
scientists to deprive folk of this pleasure?
