How Bad Is It to Eat the Same Thing Every Day? - Neatorama

You don't really have to be a picky eater to fall into the trap of eating the same meals more often than you should. I can tell you from experience that working at a desk job, living alone, and generally being too busy to think about your diet can lead to easy but monotonous meals. The simplest form of nutrition is to eat a variety of different foods, but how bad can a monotonous series of meals really be? That depends on what's in the things you eat every day. Lifehacker offers a short guide to judging the nutritional value of what you eat, and tips for breaking out of the habit of eating the same thing every day.

If it's instant ramen, absolutely. If you got it from a good ramen restaurant, you're gonna get more than just noodles in broth. The last one I had came with bean sprouts, a thin slice of pork belly, mushrooms, soft boiled egg, and other things.

Not just the Romans! Urine use for tanning and fulling (cleaning wool) was widespread. Starting around the Renaissance, urine was used to make saltpeter, essential for the gunpower used in centuries of wars. For example, saltpetermen would come to dig saltpeter from under the barn where the animals peed (and everywhere else with nitrated earth, under protection of the crown). Urine from beer and wine drinkers was in demand because it was thought to produce better yields. There's even a story during the US Civil war when Jonathan Haralson, Agent Nitre and Mining Bureau, asked the "ladies of Selma ... to preserve the chamber lye to be collected for the purpose of making nitre. A barrel will be sent around daily to collect it." Leading Northerners to write a ditty to the tune of "O Tannenbaum": "Jon Haralson, Jon Haralson—you are a wretched creature; You’ve added to this bloody war a new and useful feature. / You’d have us think, while every man is bound to be a fighter, / The Ladies, bless the pretty dears, should save their pee for nitre."
