The more that I think about it, the more that I like the idea. It could actually be a relatively amusing cliff notes on various facets of rationality, a kind of who's who to the memes around here (e.x. "Luminosity Bella consults her notes on how she liked what she had last week, seeing what kind of impact her introduction of cougar blood is having").
Or it could just be like one of those angry essays Eliezer does sometimes, with such lines as "and they just THROW THE BUTTER ONTO THEIR POTATOES like it's a friend of the family", in which case healthy eating would be a metaphor for cyronics.
I find almost everything about this sentence baffling.
Several of Eliezer's essays have a somewhat angry tone to them, particularly those arguing that humans need to develop means by which we no longer have to die, expressing a frustration with the typical human's resignation to death. Similarly, they are resigned to eating butter because it's a normal kind of thing and their parents did it and just a little can't be that bad for you.
