51. I recently read the book "South" by Ernest Shackleton
His sailors were marooned for two full years on a piece of rock off the coast of antarctica. After the first few weeks, their entire diet was composed of penguins. That is all they ate. They all survived, without apparent malnutrition.

No, I'm not suggesting that food stamps should be redeemed in penguins. ;-)

I am agreeing with you that proper nutrition is a complicated web.
