WWII - the man who eats grass, Mr J. R. B. Branson
Article in The Bystander reporting on Mr J. R. B. Branson, a retired lawyer who advocated a diet of grass to counter food shortages during the Second World War. Sixty-seven year old Branson, who attended Trinity College, Cambridge, believed it was possible for humans to exist on a grass diet and the feature shows him cutting grass, collecting and preparing it, his storage boxes of dried grass, him tucking into a bowl as he strolls in his garden and finally, a picture of him going for his daily 6am run. The Bystander shows a not-very-appetising-looking bowl of grass and remarks drily, " We hope German propagandists don t see this picture". Date: 1939
