One
will
often,
hear
the
remark
that
one
must
"eat
to
keep
up
his
strength."
While
this
advice
is
fundamentally
sound
in
a
large
sense
under
normal
conditions
and
when
a
true
appetite
is
present,
yet
there
never
was
a
greater
delusion
when
it
is
applied
to
forced
eating
when
the
appetite
is
lacking.
Eating
under
such
conditions
does
not
keep
up
one's
strength,
but
on
the
contrary
actually
impairs
it
by
burdening
the
digestive
system
with
food
that
cannot
be
properly
assimilated.
It
is
not
what
you
eat
but
what
you
assimilate
that
keeps
you
strong,
and
digestion
depends
upon
appetite
and
the
enjoyment
associated
therewith.
The
question
of
enjoyment
is
really
a
question
of
appetite,
and
if
you
are
not
hungry
and
cannot
relish
the
food
keenly
when
meal-time
comes
it
is
certainly
best
to
wait
until
the
next
meal
or
until
you
are
hungry.
Every
wild
animal
has
sense
enough
to
follow
its
natural
inclination
in
this
respect,
but
thousands
of
human
beings
go
to
the
table
because
it
is
dinner-time,
and
force
themselves
to
eat
food
that
they
do
not
desire
simply
because
of
the
stupid
delusion
that
continual
and
frequent
eating
is
necessary
for
strength.
