You Gonna Eat That?

This article does a good job detailing the history of weightlifing in America. The most interesting parts are the different, sometimes, dangerous theories about food that some of the lifters had:

Daily Menu for the Three Saxon Brothers
Breakfast 24 eggs
3 pounds smoked bacon
Porridge with cream
and honeyTea with plenty of sugar
Dinner

10 pounds of meat
Vegetables
Sweet fruit (raw or cooked)
Sweet cakes
Salad
Tea
Sweet puddings Cocoa and whipped cream
Supper

Cold meat
Smoked fish
Lots of butter
and cheeseBeer

They ate more at breakfast than I could eat all day.
