I was just watching Good Morning America and there was a segment about "diet wars". Which diet is best? Low carb, low fat, or the Mediterranean diet!. Basically there was a doctor telling the world the "True facts" about these diets. Which was the best in his eyes? NONE he said "stick to plant foods!, and you'll be healthy and lose weight!".

He made no mention of the raw lifestyle, BUT, maybe some other people in this world will get a clue! I thought it was interesting.

I saw Dr. Tim talk about it this morning. That huge salad they showed sure did look yummy! He also said that not only is a plant based diet the way to go, but how crucial exercise is to lose the weight too.

Glad they are picking up on this. I think the world knows this but refuses to realize the benefit of eating a mostly plant based diet.

Anyone who "doesn't know" that plant-based is the most healthy for you, I'm guessing is in denial. OF course, I live in a neighborhood where the people here consider Sunkist a healthy juice - many of these folks were probably raised to believe this, and may have no concept of what healthy food really is, but for most of the population, I'd say people still want to be able to eat junk food and lose weight - hence atkins and other fad diets. i feel fortunate we all have an understanding. It's something to be grateful for. :)
