Jobs was vegan, is that right?

The Ryokan that they mention he always stayed at is apparently very good: https://www.annees-de-pelerinage.com/tawaraya-ryokan-review-...

"Concierge service at the breakfast table is good, but the story goes on. On my way out one of the porters silently approached me and said: “Schwarze-sama, we checked the weather forecast and there will be rain this evening. So here is an umbrella to take along. Also, we took the liberty of reserving a table at that restaurant you wanted to go. Oh and last thing: here is a city plan for you where we already detailed down the way to Fushimi Inari.” It goes without saying that the guy responsible for my shoes already set out my hiking shoes and not one of my city or evening shoes. Even he knew of my plans."

He was actually fruititarian, for most of his life.

I didn't realize that this was actually real. I love fruit but I feel like all of the sugar would hurt me if it were the only thing that I ate.

Kyoto and the ryokan experience is incredible. I will go for the rest of my life.

I wonder if that had anything to do with his pancreatic cancer

> Oshima says he would even jokingly ask Jobs to name one of Apple's products 'Hiro.'

That's not a bad alternative to 'Siri'

I think the actor doing Jobs had some pancreatic problems related to eating like Jobs.

Don't quote me on that, please double check.
