The statement of physiology that tissues must be fed with protein to repair their waste is a greatly exaggerated dogma. They need but little--a couple of ounces are enough. What the average man eats is far too rich in protein, so the system must set itself to work getting rid of this surplus, thus increasing waste products and unnecessarily spending vitality.
