Vegetable & Meat Diets in African Tribes

We (Odom and colleague) found this part of Africa (eastern and central) to be an excellent area for studying native tribes living on meat, vegetable, and mixed diets and the health and growth of the various groups. We contacted many tribes which had been visited by Dr. Weston A. Price fifteen years [previously] and found nutritional and health conditions of the natives quite similar to the conditions described by him in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Of the fifteen tribes contacted, we found the Masai tribe and the Pigmy tribe to be diametrically opposite in food habits and by far the most interesting tribes that we had occasion to study.
