This is the first numerical problem I ever did. It demonstrates the power of computers: Enter lots of data on calorie & nutritive content of foods. Instruct the thing to maximize a function describing nutritive content, with a minimum level of each component, for fixed caloric content. The results are that one should eat each day: 1/2 chicken 1 egg 1 glass of skim milk 27 heads of lettuce. -- Rev. Adrian Melott

OMG he is my Classical Mechanics II prof at Univ. Kansas, no wonder he brought this story up in class today. He says he wrote this in the early 80's when the school first got access to the early interwebs.
