Quotes by Helena Frith Powell (?)

“According to Dr Bouget, a nutritionist at the Bichat Hospital in Paris, the difference in diets between French and English women goes back tot he industrial revolution. 'The English working in the factories quickly lost touch with fundamentals such as fruit, and vegetables that are so central to the French diet even today,' he says. 'England changed its habits very quickly and became a fast-food nation, eating chips and drinking too much alcohol.”
