I think a diet with some meat is better than a diet with no meat.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-62819292733177701452011-08-23T18:39:56.762-04:002011-08-23T18:39:56.762-04:00You're better off eliminating animal foods ent...You're better off eliminating animal foods entirely and eating plenty of starches.

His main thesis is good nutrition as treatment for chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Basically, he prescribes a mostly vegan diet very heaving on vegetables followed by fruits, beans, legume and nuts. Its light on grains and allows only occasional meat and dairy. Its very similar to what Clinton is saying. Dr. Fuhrman's food pyramid can be found at http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/foodpyramid.aspx "Eat food, mostly plants, ..." seems to be excellent advice.RBnoreply@blogger.com
