"For thousands of years, eating the ground up mummified remains of long-dead embalmed human beings was considered good medicine. That’s what they taught at them ancient medical schools. The demand for powdered mummies was so great that sometimes hucksters would simply grind up dead beggars and plague victims and sell them as mummies."

@mirabilis The answer to "does your doctor talk to you about nutrition?" at least for me, is "Yes. My doctor wants me to try the South Beach Diet."
@DialMforMara Huh. What do you think about that suggestion?

Minuses: It makes me worry about my weight, and whether I actually need to lose weight, and whether the extent to which I'm following the diet is sufficient. It makes me feel bad and start rationalizing when I eat something I like.
Pluses: I've learned that high-protein breakfasts give me more energy than toast or cereal, and I've become more aware of when I'm full.
