Nietzsche, weight-loss and protein bars.

The Onion (one of Chris' favorite sites, so he has already read this, I'm certain) contains this nice article about F. W. Nietzsche's long-lost weight-loss guide. I am glad they found this. We vegetarians seldom get to stuff ourselves with anything unhealthy in the name of slimming down, since we can't survive on the Atkin's "Diet."

Luckily, the Unemployed Philosophers' Guild also provides us with some Zarathustrian sustenance.

Nonetheless, both leave out the best part of the diet of the Overman: sitting with one's feel in cold water in order to work through the night like Freddy did. How could they miss it? It's one of the most important parts of the Will to Power, along with caffeine, nails, lace underwear, gel pens and a Moleskine. Nietzsche would be so pissed at them for leaving out the nails and lace skivvies that God would not be the only one he would declare to be dead.
