Does anyone here remember that guy from the 60's or 70's I think it was who was on tv a lot talking about nutrition..seeds, nuts, and stuff like that? He was always being made fun of as "eating bark"? Does anyone remember his name?

Wasn't it something like Yule Gibens or Yule Givens or something like that? I can't find it anywhere.

I think the guy's name was Ewell Givens, but that might be wrong too.

Thank you both, that's it Ewell Givens!!


Actually, he died at age 64 of a terrible genetic illness, Marfan Syndrom.....

I read the link you posted on Euell Gibbons, and it was interesting, and was wondering just what Marfan Syndrone was.
