themusecalliope...And here's another post about a piece of paper I saved...
From the Cork Board:
From the Forgotten English day by day calendar - Tuesday, March 16 (year?)
Banting: doing banting, reducing superfluous fat by living on [a] meat diet, and abstaining from beer, farinaceous food, and vegetables, according to the method adopted by William Banting....The word was introduced about 1864.
- Ebenezer Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 1898
Why I saved it:
Uh...sound familiar? Everything old is new again, isn't it Mr. Atkins? *ahem*
