Bizarre Foods : The mad scientist
Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 6:53 am
Today I watched an episode of BIZARRE FOODS, it was the one where Andrew Zimmern (sp. ?) was in Tokyo, Japan.
Anyway, while he was there he met this scientist who had done tests for years and he was convinced he would live to be 140 years old at least if he ate only once per day and 800 calories max. too. Talk about the ultimate NO SNACKING rule ...
That's what he's been doing for 35 years now. I was thinking that must be HELL to live on such a low number of calories, if it was even possible .. etc. He seemed healthy and he was swimming in the pool every day at the same time too, weird to have such a strict schedule. He was sayin : "You think better when you are under water !" Good to come up with inventions. He even had a special pen and paper he would use to write under water ...
He also said he would take a sample of his blood after each meal to test ... and huh ... he would also take a photo of each and everyone of his meals (since 1975, lol !) Ok, maybe he was a mad scientist but he was also brilliant having invented all sorts of cool things, like the old 3 1/2" floppy disks everyone was using in the 90's ...
BIZARRE FOODS is presented on the Discovery Channel here.
I like watching that show.
Cheers !
