EVER EAT A PINE TREE ?

Euell Theophilus Gibbons was an outdoorsman 
and proponent of natural diets though out the 1960s. 
He was born in Clarksville, Texas, September 14, 1911, 
and spent much of his youth during the dust bowl era.
My first thought is that I remember of him making those
Grape Nuts cereal commercials about eating pine trees.
Secondly, whom in there right or drug induced mind 
would ever think about naming their son Euell ?
And then give him a middle name of Theophilus ?
This poor kid must have had a bully a day in his face.
No wonder he ended up eating pine trees.
