Oliver Twist did not go hungry

December 20, 2008, 02:53 AM

His workhouse diet was nutritionally adequate, healthy and balanced, though probably boring

Workhouse? A old UK institution for those who could not support themselves.

Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: Oliver Twist did not go hungry

In case you'd like a reference to how the Dicken's story goes, SparkNotes: Oliver Twist: Chapters 1â€“4 Now, if Oliver were a real boy, perhaps he would have eaten well enough, but then again, perhaps there were actually some workhouses that were not up to the standards, as occurs in all sorts of industries where greed and corruption can thrive...
