But Do They Have To Learn How To Bake Bread Too? LASW 131

There is more religion in a good loaf of bread than many think. Bread which is two or three days old is more healthful than new bread. A hired girl made a batch of sour, heavy bread. In order to get rid of it and conceal the matter, she threw it to a couple of very large hogs. Next morning the man of the house found his swine dead, and upon examining the trough, found pieces of this heavy bread. The girl acknowledged what she had done. She had not a thought of the effect of such bread upon the swine. If heavy, sour bread will kill swine, which can devour rattlesnakes, what effect will it have upon that tender organ, the human stomach? 16Counsels on Diet and Foods, 316-318. LASW 131.7
