The staple foods may not contain the same nutritive substances as in former times....Hens have been compelled, by artificial diet and mode of living, to enter the ranks of mass producers. Has not the quality of their eggs been modified? The same question may be asked about milk, because cows are now confined to the stable all the year round, and are fed on manufactured provender. Hygienists have not paid sufficient attention to the genesis of diseases. Their studies of conditions of life and diet, and of their effects on the physiological and mental state of modern man, are superficial, incomplete, and of too short duration. They have, thus, contributed to the weakening of our bodies and our souls. And they leave us without protection against the degenerative diseases, the diseases resulting from civilization.
Alexis Carrel, Man Unknown (New York: Harper & Brothers, Halcyon House, 1938), .p. 116
