It will help us little to eat a four- to twelve-course dinner, consisting of the best carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, starches, sugars and pill vitamins if the dinner is overcooked and all the nutrients destroyed. After years of eating overcooked and processed foods of the finest quality, the majority of us suffer assorted ailments, which vary from debilitating children's diseases to those of crippled maturity and old age.

This state of our health has become accepted as the inevitable pattern of our destiny. Some of us however, will not give in and frequently, hopefully follow new fads in eating and are just as frequently led astray to some degree for a very simple reason: because no matter what foods or combination of them are advocated in these fads, and no matter how excellent the ingredients, they fail if they are cooked or processed to death and thus reduced to working against and not for us.

It is, therefore, not what you eat, but how it is prepared. All foods, as nature produces them, eaten in any combination, are complete, chemically correct and vital, if prepared at body or, at most, at fever heat.

It is my conviction that the whole span of our lives from conception on can be free from all ailments, barring accidents or external infections, if we carefully prepare our food so that the vital vitamins and minerals are retained

Below are some tasty supper dishes which can be prepared in such a way as to preserve the important nutrients and thus keep us healthy.
