Re: No, not kidding

I'd love to see the original report, or talk to someone who took part in it. It's "best evidence". If you start reading reviews of things by other people, it's processed information.

I was joking about it being light reading though, but Tolbey's review shows it covers lots of ground...

"The results of this valuable experiment, the first really scientific study of its type, are discussed in great detail in the 50 chapters of this book, which is divided into sections dealing with the background, the morphology, the biochemistry, the physiology, the psychology, and special problems such as edema, anorexia nervosa, infectious diseases and undernutrition, diabetes, tuberculosis, cancer, and rehabilitation. In addition, there are about 300 pages of appendices, setting forth the methods used, detailed data on this Minnesota experiment, and discussions of wartime diets and famines."

So I really would like to read it some day.

By the way when I mentioned your earlier post about licking the plate I meant this one... sorry it was a comment on them licking the plate...
