>>Cambridge
That Cambridge University historian stole my name. If I were still in the field, I would try very hard to come up with an idea for a conference panel that would include both of us.
Interesting articles. I suspect the first guy has some significant food sensitivities. His comment about not feeling bad after eating is similar to my nephew who for his first 20 years associated eating and food not with comfort, but with pain.
update: actually, I looked him up and it turns out that though we study different time periods, there is a lot of thematic overlap. It would have been quite easy to get him on a panel with a topic relevant to both of us.
