Amazing Facts About Food

Topics: classic

The Food Scientist tells us: "A deficiency of iron, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and the other mineral salts, colloids and vitamines of vegetable origin leads to numerous forms of physical disorder."     I yearn to bite on a Colloid         With phosphorus, iron and Beans;     I want to be filled with Calcium, grilled,         And Veg'table Vitamines!     I yearn to bite on a Colloid         (Though I don't know what it means)     To line my inside with Potassium, fried,         And Veg'table Vitamines.     I would sate my soul with spinach         And dandelion greens.     No eggs, nor ham, nor hard-boiled clam,         But Veg'table Vitamines.     Hi, Waiter! Coddle the Colloids         With phosphorus, iron and Beans;     Though Mineral Salts may have some faults,         Bring on the Vitamines.
