“My reason for objecting to every species of matter to be used as food, except the direct produce of the earth, is founded—as may be seen in my last publication—on the broad ground that no other matter is suited to the organs of man, as indicated by his structure.

Even if only a portion of what these victims allege is factual, it still may constitute significant criminal activity.”
