Ooo, my favorite book of the bible besides proverbs.

A person, though, cannot live on oil and wine as he can on grain, yet, as science is just now discovering, they do provide additional and necessary nutrition

Untrue. I've been living off vodka. It's 6,000 kCal for $10. It's pretty much the perfect crisis "food." Oil is even more caloric.

Whoever wrote that has never been poor. He affords his bread, oil, grain, and barley but complains about the price.

I actually have lots of food, btw, and I'm not currently that poor. I'm just an alcoholic, but the point is the same.
