Re: Dr McGougall, M.D., on animal products

Thanks for identifying with my problems re: family. I was talking to my doctor about what my family eats, especially my children and they constantly get sick, and he said that I just have to be an example and not say much. If they see that I am not getting sick, looking vibrant and only eating raw foods, eventually they will adopt my ways, but telling loved ones hardly works.

I had one Asian family living in my building and one of their child at age eight told his parents that he will not eat meat or dead things, but when they asked him where did you learn this or who is telling you this, he simply said that he never heard anyone saying this but he just does not like eating what they eat. So sounds like your story. I am so glad that you did same thing at age 14, so brave of you.

Who inspired you?

Thanks.
