In men of all races we find that their senses of smell, sound and sight never lead them to slaughter animals; on the contrary they can not bear even the sight of such killing. Slaughterhouses are always recommended to be removed far from the towns; men often pass strict ordinances forbidding the uncovered transportation of fresh meats. Can flesh than be considered the natural food of man, when both his eyes and his nose are so much against it, unless deceived by flavours of spices, salt and sugar? On the other hand, how delightful do we find fragrance of fruits, the very sight of which often makes the mouth water! It may also be noticed that various grains and roots possess an agreeable odor and taste, though faint, even when unprepared. Thus again, we are led to infer from these observations that man was intended to be a frugivorous animal.
