I'm struggling to picture a thin Malteser.
On the contrary, fibre assails the bum epithelium, scouring it, exerting gaseous stress, encouraging dysbiotic blooming.
Old people suffer a degree of malnutrition because of scarring caused by a lifetime of roughage pushing through the digestive tract like a glacier. Haemorrhoids are terminal moraines in this analogy.
Yes, research.
E.g.

Stacks like that. Fibre is a myth. Cheap to put in food and bulk it up, so if it has a value it's their profit not your health.
Owsley Stanley goes into it too.

i feel that when it comes to food and diets, no matter what your position is on it, there will always be a study that will support it. you think cauliflower causes cancer? a study will back it up. you think cauliflower is a "superfood"? another study to back it up.
Yeah, this is more or less how I view it and I'm not really willing to try anything too drastic when it comes to diets so I just try not to have too much of anything.
Not at all, I ate them all. Would happily eat a bag of watercress, spinach and rocket with no dressing at all until 3 years ago. I still eat purple sprouting broccoli now and then because it magically turns the water blue and is full of fancy sulphur compounds.
Only sacrifice has been cereal with milk, used to have 2 or 3 bowls of Coco pops a days for decades.

my idea is to eat aesthetically. try and eat all the colours of the rainbow and make plates with beautiful compositions.

this would be a rothko painting. only weird people like tech-entrepreneurs or ceo's like those. in nature, it would cause a fight or flight response.
Tut. It was "a big Amarone" in the book, which is a far more suitable pairing, but few had heard of Amarone in the early 90s so it got dumbed down.

Oh I fucking love Amarone! It's amazing. First encountered it last Christmas. Much more suitable for pairing with liver than Chianti, as you say.
Actually there's a subtle pharmacological joke in the film. Liver, fava beans and Chianti are all rich in tyrosine, which can cause unpleasant and even dangerous symptoms in humans but is normally metabolised by an enzyme called monoamine oxidase (MAO). However, MOA inhibitors, used as antidepressants and mood stabilizers, stop MAO from being produced, which makes you vulnerable to tyrosine, so there are certain foods and drinks you're not meant to have if you're on these drugs. I think nomadologist pointed this out here, years ago.
So Hannibal Lector consuming these things is a way of showing that he's come off his meds. (That, and the fact that he's murdered and cannibalized someone.) But the choice of Chianti is not an 'arbitrary wine most people have heard of'.
