158 GOOD HEALTH 



4. How much to eat. If you are healthy 

 and have been chewing carefully, eat until 

 you stop feeling hungry. Never eat until 

 you feel stuffed. 



The boy who works and plays and studies hard needs 

 more food than his delicate mother who reads and sews 

 all day in a warm room. Besides that, he is growing and 

 she is not.
