I'm Dr. Joshua Schwimmer, a nephrologist and internal medicine physician in New York City. • Kidney Notes was the first active nephrology blog. (Trivia: Kidney Notes is so old that the National Library of Medicine still uses it as an example of how to formally cite blogs.) • Professionally, you can find me at Kidney.nyc. • Kidney Notes is for educational purposes only, not medical advice.

Breakfast at Google

In case you were wondering, from the Google Blog:
  • Googlers prefer Canadian bacon (45 lbs.) to chicken-apple sausage (30 lbs.)
  • Steel-cut oatmeal (10-12 gallons) wins out over organic grits (6-8 gallons)
  • We polish off 5 cases of fresh fruit (cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple)
  • Devour 160 breakfast burritos (eggs, veggies, cheese)
  • We cook 80-100 lbs. of red bliss potatoes
  • We use 2 gallons of egg whites (for the omelets)
  • Googlers gulp down 9 gallons of fresh coffee every morning (just in our cafe)
  • My biggest surprises: people consume 1-1/2 gallons of kombucha tea - a little-known fermented drink - every day
  • And against all logic, some people ask for an omelet that's half egg whites, half regular eggs.
As a related aside, you can find nutritional values instantly at foodvalues.us.
