Monkey Chow Diet
Found on the Freakonomics blog:
Can a human subsist on a constant diet of pelletized, nutritionally complete food like puppies and monkeys do? For the good of human kind, I’m about to find out. On June 3, 2006, I began my week of eating nothing but monkey chow: “a complete and balanced diet for the nutrition of primates, including the great apes.”
As of Day 3, tester Adam Scott’s poop smells bad and he’s craving open-faced turkey sandwiches.
Update: Adam Scott’s also got a blog where he has a bit more detail on his monkey chow diet.
