The Skilling Diet: Caterpillars and Grub Worms

In Saturday's Wall Street Journal ex-Enron President Jeff Skilling gives diet advice for any of you facing massive fraud charges over a collapsed company:

To prepare for the rigors of the trial, Mr. Skilling said he wandered through the Utah wilderness for two weeks, hiking up to 30 miles a day, as part of a survival-training program. He slept on the ground, had no food for the first three days and then dined largely on whatever he could find, including insects. (He recommends caterpillars and grub worms, which "are basically pure fat.")

Caterpillars and grub worms? Sometimes these things just write themselves.
