"Cabbage is the most medicinal vegetable."
"If you save the urine from a habitual cabbage eater, heat it, and bathe a man in it, you will quickly make him healthy with this cure. This has been tested. Also, if you wash babies with this urine they will never become sickly!"
-Cato the Elder, inventing golden baths before golden showers were a thing.
I think Cato was on to something. If every time I said I was sick someone tried to bathe me in cabbage urine, I would no longer say I was sick.
Fermented cabbage is actually very healthy 😅
Tasty and crunchy!
I don't think they had the water pressure for a good shower.
Yeah. That's why the used piss.
