A fattening cure on an isolated island in the 17th century

Saint-Kilda is an isolated archipelago where the steward of the Clan MacLeod once traveled for a surprising reason. During his visit in 1697, he traveled with a company numbering up to sixty people whom he chose from among his thinnest friends from the surrounding islands. He thus took them to the island to let them enjoy abundant food and allow them to regain strength and health.
