I don't know how common it is but my grandmas always said that you shouldn't eat pork after being released from the hospital or while sick. Then I finally remembered to ask a doctor about it and he said there's no such thing.
I understand that the notion behind it is to eat easy to digest foods, instead of red meat, in order not to burden your body trying to metabolise them while it is also fighting a disease.
I can sort of get behind this, but I also say you still need your protein. Over here a chicken stew is quite commonly given to sick people, maybe for this reasoning.
Vegetables are harder to digest because of the cellulose or something. That's why our intestines are so long.

That a vomitorium is a room where Romans would go to vomit up their food and drink so they could gorge themselves some more.
Not saying that this act never occurred, mind you.
A vomitorium is a architectural feature that allows large numbers of people to disperse from a tunnel under the seats of a stadium.
This isn't ancient wisdom. In fact, your debunking uses wisdom that's more ancient. It is true though.

'A clock is right twice a day' and 'two stones one bird'
Do you mean 'hit two birds with one stone'? That's not advice, it's a useful expression for describing getting good value.
