Because he lacks animal protein. Actually, I think YOU are the one who needs the &amp;quot;good luck&amp;quot; Jim.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, was one of the pioneering masterminds behind selling the public on the edible oil industry, unbelieveable work on his part. Yet, today, trans fat free oil or not, heat all but a few kinds of oils above 350 degrees and it creates acrylimide, which is like plastic to the human body. &amp;quot;Zillions of sharp conglomerated chartruese crystals ranging in size from sand to bird eggs were the gall &amp;quot;stones&amp;quot; of sugar, bad oils, bad grains, bad fats, but easily and successfully expelled as a result of a relatively simple fast.&amp;quot; The trans fat fad is another hoax of major porportions, overheat it and it will clog the circulatory system, liver and gallbadder too!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chemist's invented soda pop and the thin people got fat. Chemists core up pharmaceutical companies which are also food companies, all owned by law-makers too. Is that sound or look wise now? Those collusive profiteers create imitation &amp;quot;food&amp;quot; which they know creates the need for their heinous phar-maekia, one after another til death. America's law-makers guide crop and animal human food production at our peril, as all disintegretious entities are fully allowed to poison us in various ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, there is a worldwide food code movement pressuresomely flapping in the wings of the US government. It intends to finish the job of deceiving and poisioning eaters all over the world while removing human access to safer foods and effectual supplements. It is called Codex Aliamentarius and although its cloaked as a quality and consistency agency, that could not be farther from the facts. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;American's choose, but folks do seem to be intentionally lulled into trusting &amp;quot;the system&amp;quot;, following it like cows to slaughter. I expend effort taking responsibility for the fuels my body NEEDS. For 10 years I performed hands on bodywork. The expression I shared was.. You wouldn't DREAM of putting a candybar in your automobile's fuel tank! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's so easy to just say heck with it and be like everybody else (fat, sickly, and ignorant), but I'll be darned if I'm going to let Big Pharma, the processed food industry, Madison Ave., or the U.S. government get the best of me. My life has more value, for greater causes, than they would allow...&lt;/p&gt;

This makes me feel like great helath is actually obtainable. Reading all the negative articles on how bad all the wrong foods are for you, kind of makes me feel that if I fall off the wagon for a meal I'm a bad person. I know, one day/meal at a time. I just find this article refreshing. :-)&lt;/p&gt;

Drs William F Koch, Max Gerson, Bernard Jenson, John Christopher and a host of others have been saying this since 1900. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those doctors who proved the importance of proper Diet have been attacked by the American Medical Association and supposed Modern Medicine to this day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When people finally realize the Truth, they may again be hypnotized by the media into believing some pill is the savior of the day to good health. This madness of pills and medical injections and genetically modified foods is destroying mankind. It represents the Lies of supposed modern science, which continually feed the minds of the hopeless with false promises and false hopes and the idea that never ends, &amp;quot;Just another Trillion Dollars we're almost have a Cure&amp;quot;. Lies and more lies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we are plagued today with artificial foods, flavors, preservatives, chemicals and Genetically Modified Foods, which are already causing untold problems to the human body, we do not realize the Truth. &amp;nbsp;Until we are ready to return to the simplicity of eating wholesome organic foods, we will continue to be overcome by Disease, Cancers and a host of Degenerative Diseases caused by wrong Diet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eating healthy food can save your life, the choice is yours.&lt;/p&gt;

Nine out of ten people embrace the status quo, or conventional wisdom. This is why so few people will agree with you on the importance of healthy diets, alternative remedies, Constitutional politics, and so on. The refreshing message of Ron Paul falls mostly on deaf ears because the message is unconventional truth. People prefer to live a lie over the truth because it's easier to follow than to lead. The truth requires thinking outside the box, which requires some effort. Original thinking may require some action, like a radical change to a healthy diet, supplementation, and raising pH of body fluids with minerals to 7.3 to dissipate cancer. Unfortunately, 90% or more of the people with cancer will actively choose chemo, radiation, or surgery, because they are mentally lazy. So it is with human nature. Most people are &amp;quot;asleep in the flesh&amp;quot;, and have &amp;quot;eyes to see, but cannot see&amp;quot;, which makes the sharing of truth a very discouraging activity. Dr. Mercola's news letter, and similar sites, are like a soothing salve to the abused psyche of us 10% who practice original thinking and would like to help others who refuse to be helped.&lt;/p&gt;

So the first emphesis on diet should be to improve heart health. &amp;nbsp;The only double blind, peer reviewed scientific study that addresses REVERSING HEART DISEASE is the Dean Ornish Reversing Heart Disease Program, which was published in 1999. &amp;nbsp;Its a $7 paperback and chapter 10 tells you everything you need to know about how to eat right. &amp;nbsp;Basically vegan, an NO ANIMAL products. &amp;nbsp;The result is that you will be taking in 0 cholesterol daily compared to 500 mgs that the SAD provides. &amp;nbsp;Because you ingest no cholesterol, and because your liver will make the cholesterol it needs, it takes it from your blood which reduces the cholesterol in your heart and brain. &amp;nbsp;Your triglycerides, which is essentially liquid fat circulating in your blood, drops to very healthy levels. &amp;nbsp;There are 10,000 different ideas and plans for healthy eating, most contradicting each other, and most with no scientific studies to backup their statements. &amp;nbsp;The Ornish program produced an average of 22 to 24 pounds weight loss in one year as a secondary benefit. &amp;nbsp;So if you would like to improve your heart health and lose some weight, I strongly suggest you get his book. &amp;nbsp;You will begin to unclog your arteries and that to me is a healthy diet. &amp;nbsp;Scientifically proven. &amp;nbsp;Good luck. &lt;/p&gt;

As a massage therapist, now 60 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have read a lot to try to understand health issues. &amp;quot;The China Study&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;book seems to prove that most our &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;now common ailments and diseases are the result of switching from the vast variety of traditional diets which had evolved&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;around the planet &amp;nbsp;to the over processed, canned, sugary, salted, white bread, hydrogenated, pasteurized, preservative laced&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;fatty, &amp;nbsp;denatured, protein obsessed SAD (Standard American Diet) we are currently addicted to. &amp;nbsp;It is a true addiction:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;damaging to your health and happiness but immensely profitable for the industry that manufactures, distributes, advertises, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and lobbys &amp;nbsp;for its interests. &amp;nbsp;Our SAD diet has caused an explosive proliferation of diabedes, heart disease, cancer,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;dementia, obesity, etc. &amp;nbsp;The Pharmaceutical Industry has meanwhile grown to be the worlds richest and most powerful cartel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a lot of money being made off this SAD state of affairs. &amp;nbsp;Take charge of your life by becoming and remaining informed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;about what constitutes a healthful diet and health living. &amp;nbsp; Be glorious and radiant, be kind and enjoy. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Aloha&lt;/p&gt;

It was well known (until the disinformation in the White House) that dioxin accumulates in the fat of animals including mammals and humans are mammals. &amp;nbsp;Butter comes from the fat of milk producing cows, sheep, and goats in this country. Chlorinated plastics, such as PVC, have been revealed to be in the leachate from landfills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.rachel.org/bulletin/index.cfm?issue_ID=1055&amp;gt;"&gt;www.rachel.org/.../index.cfm&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;After purchasing this study, I learned which industrial chemicals were identified. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They go into the surface and ground water tapped for agriculture, potable sources, including cooking, beverages and bathing. Pulp and paper mills use chlorinated chemicals to whiten paper. When paper and plastics are burned, and even state-of-the-art incinerators, chlorinated compounds including dioxin and furans are released into the environment and agriculture, and they are in the foods we eat --even certified organic foods. &amp;nbsp;Hence, the reason to eat low fat; not butter or whole fat dairy. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
