Because I'm a fan of all things fake (fake news, homeopathy, numerology, speculations about consciousness, etc.), I can't help but be interested in fad diets and pop culture ideas about eating and weight loss. One of the things I learned from my lymphoma, consisting of "immortal" lymphocytes, is that it's *normal* for us to eat ourselves ... which is why diets like "keto" and "intermittent fasting" are so rhetorically successful.

By which I mean to introduce my name for such a company: Phagocytes Inc. -- We eat you so you don't have to eat yourself.
