"During the past two to three decades, we have acquired substantial evidence that most chronic diseases in America can be partially attributed to bad nutrition...........................More people die because of the way they eat than by tobacco use, accidents, or other lifestyle or environmental factor.....................There is nothing better the government could do that would prevent more pain and suffering in this country than telling Americans unequivocally to eat less animal products, less highly-refined plant products and more whole, plant-based foods..................But instead of doing this, the government is saying that animal products, dairy, meat, refined sugar and fat in your diet are good for you!"
