CR in the NYT

progBlah blah. I think I'm posting about this slightly more than I care about it, but it seems I hooked onto the topic just as it's starting to become really visible, so here we go.
CR made the NYT. One is tempted to speculate about this diet getting fad-famous, but I just don't think so; it's proponents seem to treat the weight loss as merely a side effect of their real goals, and I don't think these are goals that tons of everyday people would be willing to starve themselves over, especially with that whole not-actually-proven-with-humans wrinkle.
It's probably getting more attention due to the mix of "Cool, more research into living longer" and "OMG, look, freaks!" The photographer did a good job contrasting that guy's handsome face with his alarmingly scarecrow physique. The monkeys are cute though. Who's a hungry monkey.
