remember that article by cecil about how long (short) you would live by eating only bread? you know, this one.
my questions are related to that, sort of, but i think they belong here instead of the comments on cecil’s columns forum, because i’m not taking issue with anything he wrote in that piece.
anyway, here are the questions:
- how long would a person be able to live on a diet of kraft dinner with chopped up hotdogs, and orange juice? i mean, that’s all four food groups (cereals for the noodles, dairy for the (sorta) cheese, (kinda) meat for the hotdogs, and fruits/veggies (and scurvy!) are covered by the juice. and what would the portion sizes have to be like in order for this diet to be, er, sustainable?
and
- how long could one go with only meals of beer & pizza? what would be the toppings necessary to make this a sustainable diet? i know i’ve survived weeks at a time with this limited menu, but that’s hardly a long-term scientific study.
