Oysters.

Prof. Dean, in charge of the Government Inquiry Department on Fish and Fish Food at Fulton Market, NewYork, has discovered that oysters live on infusoria and algae, known as desmids and diatnes, the lowest order of plants and animalculi, or minute entomostracans, rotifera, cyclops and daphina. And yet people will go on eating them raw.
