A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
Many of you may have heard of The China Study -- an extensive 20-year study of millions of Chinese, their diet, and disease. T. Colin Campbell, the lead research from Cornell (and outspoken vegan advocate), concludes that we should be eating a plant-based diet devoid of beef, poultry, eggs, fish, and milk. The China Study has even influenced John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, and new Whole Foods dietary recommendations in stores.
Well, the raw data is in, and the story ain't so pretty. See the breaking news from Richard Nikoley at Free the Animal, and go straight to the take-down (warning: long!) from former vegan/vegetarian Denise Minger at Raw Foods SOS.
More to come...
