According to one of the strongest advocates of this way of eating, "...Eating is the usual haphazard mixtures of bread with meat, bread with eggs, bread with cheese, bread with other protein, or potatoes with proteins. When one eats a hamburger or a hot dog, one does not eat his flesh first and then follow with his bun.... The stomach has no mechanism for separating these thoroughly intermixed substances and partitioning them off in separate compartments in its cavity" (Herbert M. Shelton, Food Combining Made Easy[San Antonio, TX: Willow Publishing, Inc., 1992], 19).
The author proceeds to encourage the practice of food combining by stating how animals tend to eat one food at a meal, that the carnivore doesn't mix starches with protein. He points out that birds consume insects at one period of the day and seeds at a different time. Therefore, he concludes that man should, "Eat protein foods and carbohydrate foods at separate meals." He emphasizes this as the second "rule" for proper food combining.
To follow such a rule requires, according to the author, abandoning meals such as hamburgers, hot dogs, ham on rye, eggs in potato salad, and sandwiches. While it is true that multiple course meals tend to cause discomfort and discomfort, according to medical doctors, is usually a sign of something wrong, attempting to copy the eating habits of animals will also lead to incorrect deductions. How should the choice of which animals to imitate be made? Owls eat rodents whole, fur and all; dogs will eat their own vomit; many large snakes go days without eating; birds eat worms and no animals cook anything. How much can observing their dietary habits really offer to man?
