    I probably would not have had a problem with it if it was a diet that I was used to.
    EDIT
    in relation to health, people did not live long enough to suffer diet related diseases, and food like this would have provided a lot of energy.

    Mostly cartilage and gelatin. Some protein at least. They used a similar recipe in Britain during the war (steaks were rather scarce).
