13. Better than the monkey chow diet?

In researching what primate feed would be best, I came across The Monkey Chow Diaries. I know that many people (if there are actually people that visit my site) might think that I stole the idea from him, but I did not. I, like many geeks out there, thought of it completely on my own. Well, maybe not entirely on my own. I do remember someone writing into Ask Marilyn many years ago asking if a person could live on dog food. Marilyn said they would do better to eat Monkey Chow, since that would provide vitamin C, something that a dog's body can manufacture on its own. That was the genesis of the idea. From there I watched and read science fiction, which fairly often had a "superfood" that met all the bodies dietary needs. One example would be the "goop" that the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar ate.
