Ah, I love it when people think they're sarcastic but they're correct:
>"I was sitting behind [Elon Musk] on the flight back to London when he looked at me over the seat and said, 'I think we can build a rocket ourselves.'" He showed Cantrell the spreadsheet he'd been working on. "I looked at it and said, I'll be damned — that's why he's been borrowing all my books. He'd been borrowing all my college textbooks on rocketry and propulsion. You know, whenever anybody asks Elon how he learned to build rockets, he says, 'I read books.' Well, it's true. He devoured those books. He knew everything. He's the smartest guy I've ever met, and he'd been planning to build a rocket all along. [1]

At the very least, this guy is probably more aware of his calorie intake than he was when he was free-eating.
(free-eating is when you eat what you feel like whenever you want to, without worrying about what or how much you're eating)
I figured he had physicists, engineers, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, and you name it. But I guess he just read a few books on his weekends and that was enough to design and launch the rocket.
This guy is a hobbyist who is claiming his diet has cured most of his ails. You aren't the least bit suspicious of that claim?
