Musing in his [non-alcoholic] Beer

Idly contemplating 'Baby' Bush and '[censored]' Cheney, Davey wonders why
they even attempted to impeach Tricky Dicky

And Spiggy the Piggy? Sheesh, he only had his snout and both trotters
firmly planted in the Maryland Pork Barrel - nothing unusual for the
Free State.

You picked a bad time to stop drinking.

drinking.

Davey never did drink very much, and nothing at all for the last 40
years or so

And he eats meat only occasionally, not to spare the bovines, but out
of repect for his body.

That was actually a quote from the movie, Airplane!

His body isn't made out of meat?

Nuh-uh. Humans are not obligate omnivores and can survive for long periods
on meat and fat, though they'd need to take a Vitamin C capsule regularly.

Eskimos and Innuit got vitamin C capsules?

I prefer to chose my own words. Please retrieve your obligate as I
have no need for it. Thanks.

BTW, caribou meat is a better source of vitamin C than oranges, so the
Eskimos and Inuit wouldn't need to take capsules. The upright monkey
is a very adaptable species.

Dunno. I couldn't find any animal sources of Vit C. Maybe they eat some
kind of seaweed? Vit A is readily available and D is made by the body in
sunlight. If you look up vit C it turns out only a few species of animal
are unable to make it themselves.

Humans, apes, guinea pigs, the red-vented bulbul, a fruit-eating bat and a
species of trout. ;-)

AFAIK, it's the only micronutrient that's problematic to get when your diet
is limited - as you may recall, sailors had a big problem with it (scurvy).

If only sailors knew that they wouldn't have to mess around with carrying
limes. Caribou jerky. Mmm-mmm.

No limes? What are they going to stick in the neck of their Corona
bottles? You're talking crazy.

Seal brain, certain whale skins and various other parts of other
animals are also supposedly high in vitamin C and are staples of Inuit
and Eskimo diets.

Yep, skin of the beluga whale, raw stomach of the caribou possibly.

They did do a study, believe it or not:

Vitamin D is a problem in high latitudes. People get
demented when starved of vitamin D. Cabin fever.

Perhaps certain rbr posters should add vitamin D to their medications.

It's a good thing that vegans exist. Their flesh is much tastier,
with a slight gamy flavor, like the difference between grass-fed
beef and factory-lot bonemeal-mush-eating CJD-carrying
mad cow product. Ask yourself, as one with discerning tastes,
would you eat a person who'd been eating McDonald's all their
life, like most of America?

Whatever you do don't eat a pro cyclist.
