Avoids the "Ologists"

When he takes the trouble to think about it there are a few kinds of
people the Alimentive does not care for. The man who is bent on
discussing the problems of the universe, the highbrow who wants to
practise his new relativity lecture on him, the theorist who is given to
lengthy expatiations, and all advocates of new isms and ologies are
avoided by the pure Alimentive. He calls them faddists, fanatics and
fools.

When he sees a highbrow approaching, instead of having it out with him
as some of the other types would, he finds he has important business
somewhere else. Thus he preserves his temperature, something that in the
average fat man seldom goes far above normal.
