angevin2, a lucid, intelligent, and funny explanation of why that study about how portion sizes in paintings of the Last Supper over the last 1000 years prove that we're all Evil Greedy Fatties (you know, the one that was linked from everywhere yesterday), is complete crap. Because the people who did the study knew bugger all about medieval art.
