A short clip from Woody Allen's 1973 film Sleeper in which a man who wakes up in the future is told that health foods are unhealthy and tobacco is good for you.

HN posts it as a joke in threads about shifting nutrition and health science advice.

You'll probably enjoy this clip from the Woody Allen movie Sleeper, where his character is revived 200 years in the future after being cryogenically frozen in 1973. Just watch the first minute or so. ▶ this video

Sleeper. He wakes up hundreds of years in the future, and starts asking for health foods. From the early 70s. ▶ this video

Smoking cigarettes would do it. Nicotine + Oxygen right? Who knew the movie Sleeper had it right, keto diet and tabacco. ▶ this video
