It is a task heavy enough to stimulate spiritual intuitions in our era without adding the extra burden involved in correcting false appetites at the table. That is a thankless task which incites the greatest impatience in others and the greatest reluctance in oneself. One instinctively shirks becoming a dietary iconoclast overturning the ancient and beloved idols of whole peoples. For no habits are so hard to uproot as eating habits, none so much a part of ingrained human nature.
