"  If you&amp;#039;ve ever wondered about the eating habits of a guy who names his computer company Apple, Walter Isaacson&amp;#039;s spanking-new Steve Jobs bio provides fascinating details into the man&amp;#039;s monkish diet. For starters, Jobs was a vegetarian (a lifestyle choice he shared, by the by, with fellow pioneers Sir Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein). But it doesn&amp;#039;t stop there. Jobs loved to fast, and would spend weeks at a time eating only one thing, like fruit smoothies or apples; at one point he was eating only carrots and was said to have taken on a &amp;quot;sunset-like orange hue.&amp;quot; Jobs spent 1977 \u2014 the same year that Apple was incorporated \u2014 on an all-fruit diet. Apparently, what might sound like a raging, dangerous eating disorder was actually a philosophical quest to achieve enlightenment through asceticism, which at the very least isn&amp;#039;t something you hear from your average, everyday anorexic. Toward the end of his life, Jobs continued to try to fast despite the pleas of his doctors and his wife. Depending on how you look at it, it might all sound sad and crazy, or it might sound like another eccentricity of someone who thought a little differently than the rest of us.
