Dieting while on a vacation in France. What a concept. But our two bicycling tour guides were very helpful and aggressive in making sure that the food on my plate was included in the diet. And it was a surprise that the chefs felt challenged to produce an artistic plate. It seemed to me that all the other bike riders in our group were a little jealous when they saw what a beautiful plate came from the kitchen. And tasty. (more…)
A diet of only plant food? Even if motivated, would anyone go on such a restricted diet? Bill Clinton has.
This diet to prevent heart disease and many other diseases is described in Dr. Esselstyn’s book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. His wife has included many recipes in the book.
I have found that there are dozens of delicious recipes made from the plant food list. It takes some effort to find all the ingredients and a real dedication to follow this diet. (more…)
Distinguished doctors and scientists have worked for over twenty years to prove that what a person eats can kill him.
They have shown that the secret to avoiding deadly disease is not a single pill or pills, or eating a single item in a diet. Most other studies are done to show that a pill or a specific food will help prevent a particular disease, but these studies are flawed for two reasons. They don’t take all of the factors into account in what a person puts in his mouth. And, even more insidious, all animal based food industries and our government are committed to sell these products. The secret is to avoid ALL animal based products.
Two of the books that show these studies are: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease and The China Study.
I am recommending that you read these two books, not because I am an animal lover or a vegan fanatic, but because it may save your life. At least help you avoid a long and painful existence before your death.
The cigarette industry went through years of fighting to show that cigarettes were not harmful. We now know that tobacco can cause cancer. But profits from nicotine sales funded a fight against a deadly product.
I am certain that 100 years (maybe more) from now, animal food and refined food products will be viewed in the same light as tobacco is today.
In Fort Worth it will be an uphill battle. We will no longer be called “Cow Town.” Maybe “Tofu Town?” Our annual “Fat Stock Show” is now just “The Stock Show” and in the future will be something like “The Sprouts Show.”
