"The Raw Food Diet" William Harris, M.D.
| Founding member and resident
skeptic William Harris, M.D. starts off with some exercise tips, a 23,000
foot skydive, a night jump, and then launches into what humans really
should be eating. After a short metaphysical detour about Satan as the
universal image of evil (hint: he's got hooves, horns, red skin and a
tail), Bill enters the controversial realm of the raw vegan diet,
discussing six common claims of raw fooders and accepting five of them. He
has some wry remarks about beans, some happy thought about nuts, and a
couple of blenderized smoothie recipes. There's a discussion of salt
(sodium chloride) as a no-no particularly as you drift along with him into
the realm of advancing age, and a few words about the anti-oxidants in raw
pigmented fruits and vegetables, as age's last defense.
He winds up with a short bit about the ethical difference between slicing a tomato and slicing a sheep, and then shows the healthy vegan kids that Jack Norris, R.D. dug up in retort to a NY Times article "Death by Veganism." |
