Watching Hemingway's extreme eating habits unfold feels like a tragic march toward his inevitable decline. It leaves a heavy, lingering sadness, seeing how a legendary life was quietly unraveled by such unyielding, self-destructive indulgence.

The point at which a lifestyle becomes a problem is the point at which sustaining it is killing you.

Nothing unusual in Hemingway's diet at all! At least nothing shown here!

I live in south central Idaho. He killed himself in Sun Valley about 70 miles north of me and buried in the cemetery in Ketchum along with his last wife. Interestingly, Ketchum hasn't done anything to remember Papa Hemingway. Has not sponsored any best of the worst of bad Hemingway writing lime Harrys Bar in New York City, a Hemingway look a like contest. I had to look for his gravesite when i first went to Ketchum.
