Henry VIII

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Fascinating Fact: In his later years Henry VIII may have eaten up to 5000 calories a day – twice the average daily amount for a man. Henry ate all the wrong types of foods, including too much ale and red wine, far too much bread and meat and not enough vegetables and fruits.
