INTRODUCTION:

                         'A Little Bit of what you Fancy' is written by Desmond Morris. He was born in England. He is most famous for his works as zoologist and ethnologist. His works will be mainly focused on human and animal behaviour.

MORRIS MOTHER:

                       Desmond Morris Mother who was born during the reigon of Queen Victoria enjoys the food pleasure but she gave less importance to healthy foods and ate fatty food stuffs and also she used to chew each mouthful of food 32 times.

TRUTH OF MORRIS MOTHER:

                      The author's mother have been living the whole of the twentieth century(99 years) but without even thinking a minute what was correct to eat. If a food taste's good it must be eaten this was the author's mother intention. According to the author we should never worry about the diet system while eating or else if we eat with fear and tension the body does not co-operate then resulting in indigestion of food.

MODERN PONTIFICATORS:

                      Now-a-days the modern pontificators(one who give their opinion)feels that it is their duty to tell the rest what to eat and should not eat as though they have discovered the secret of eternal life. Author feels that there are two flaws in their arguments. First they keep on changing their views and secondly they seem to overlook the fact that the human species evolved as an omnivore

PROBLEMS  FACED BY PEOPLE:

                      So many people today suffer from obesity, indigestion and various diet deficiencies. This is because of our lifestyle if we are inactive we must eat less food. The people living in urban areas feels most of the time to be tension due to their heavy works as a result they end up indigestion of food stuffs they eat.

FOOD TABOOS:

                       According to the author he has two reasons for banning of so many food stuffs. First reason people from ancient times chose a particular animal as a tribal mascot(i.e) an emblem, a god-figure. So they decided not to eat their worshipping animal. For example cows are sacred animals for the Hindu's so thereby not eating it.

                     Another reason is that if we eat these type of animal our body will be poisoned. These reason make people to avoid certain foods.

CONCLUSION:

                        Through this story author says that wee should never care about the word of food experts. He doesn't says that the fatty food items must not be tasted it can be tasted but once or twice. So if we maintain a good health we need not listen to diet experts we can live as we like.
