Vilhjalmur Stefansson was a famous arctic explorer whose expeditions are beyond legendary. He lived with the Inuit and learned to eat & thrive off of their native, Arctic foods. In 1928, Stefansson determined that he was ready for his next challenge. No, this challenge would not be another overseas voyage, but rather a challenge that he could complete right in New York City. He decided he would eat nothing but meat and water for an entire year. The results were certainly astonishing, to say the least…

So, how did they get to be that way?
