welcome to "as the rone turns"

[rone]

In today's episode, rone contemplates the eternal question: "Can a man have a lunch that consists entirely of marshmallows?"  Both miniature and large, the soft, sweet, and sticky white cylinders are consumed without pause, until he stops, suddenly.  He sees the open bag of walnuts, beckoning, whispering in his ear...  HE SEIZES THE BAG!  The walnuts will soon become his second course...

A while ago some people I know started wondering what the cheapest possible source of a day's worth of calories was. The answer was vegetable oil.

So they decided to try to live on just vegetable oil plus a multivitamin. I think it lasted a day.

Back in the 50's when linear programming was just coming into vogue, some Army nutritionists studied the cheapest balanced diet available. (You can't just live on fat; you need protein and carbs too.)

The answer was hog livers, cabbage, and water. You couldn't cook the cabbage or whatever crazy vitamin it was supplying would go away.

Their goal was survival calories, not balanced diet, but yeah. Hog livers and cabbage... yuck!
