Experiments in Dietetics
- Time for our autobiography-ing hero to conduct some experiments in dieting. Aiming for economy and hygiene, he tries many things, such as living only on dairy.
- The question of what exactly constitutes meat—eggs? fish?—weighs on him, and he decides to accept his mother's interpretation.
- This leads him to consider the nature of vows and pledges. He says they should be interpreted as the party administering them intends, or, if two interpretations are possible, as the weaker party means it to be.
- He joins a vegetarian society and starts a local vegetarian club. This gives him experience in running organizations.
