Mushrooms and Marketing
Read this on a bottle of supplement pills today...
At least 1,500 years ago, Tibetan herders observed that yaks would eat
Cordyceps and then frolic with great energy and "passion." This
encouraged the herders to experience the power of Cordyceps, which has
led to its use by hundreds of millions of people over the ages. In
1993, the Chinese National Track and Field Team attributed their
success in breaking the World Records in part to their use of
Cordyceps.
First of all, hundreds of millions of people is a bold statement.
Second, what happened to the Chinese National Track and Field Team after 1993? Less Cordyceps in their diet? More in the diets of non-Chinese track and field athletes?
And, finally, I really hope I get to see a yak frolic with great energy and "passion" someday. Those quotation marks are positively tantalizing.
