from it the materials of sensation, of ideas, of moral goodness, of holiness of life.

whole, and answers to what in Plato and Aristotle is called the soul.

When considering the protein source, for example, one must not only consider whether an animal - or plant - based protein will be used, but the specific
organism from which it is derived (e.g., animal: chicken, beef, lamb, pork, etc.; fish: salmon, menhaden, etc.; plant: corn gluten meal, soybean meal, etc.), what part (s) of that
organism will be included (e.g., plant:
whole wheat vs. wheat germ vs. wheat bran; animal: entire animal vs. skeletal muscle vs. organ meats), and the form in which it will be added (animals: frozen, fresh, meal), all of which affect the diet in terms of cost, nutrient composition and stability, manufacturing requirements, and ingredient handling, transport, and storage.
