If he can shed the mummy wrappings of acquired notions, complacent bigotries, and superstitious customs, and look at the problem with fresh eyes, he is more likely to succeed in his quest of truth. If he can re-examine the whole meaning of it as though it were a newly discovered problem, he is more likely to move towards its correct solution. If he will refuse to be intimidated by dietary precedent, and begin to rethink the whole matter of eating's why and wherefore, he will reach astonishing results. For much nonsense about diet has come down to us by ignorant tradition and unthinking inheritance.
