Chronicle opinion by T. Colin Campbell,Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr.

[Guest guest]

Great opinion article from last month's Chronicle .. I'm sure it was deliberate that they say plant-based diet and avoid the "v" word.

 

"The No. 1 cause and cure of America's health care crisis is right under your nose - it's what you put in your mouth. "

Yes, I read that article when it was printed, I guess I should have posted it to

the list but I was being lazy, however, that is not the only thing that the

Esselstyn Father and Son team are doing. Some of you may be aware that

Caldwell's son is Rip Esselstyn, he is one of the Firemen at the Austin, TX Fire

House where everyone went vegan. And at the radio network where I work at about

the same time as the article appeared in the Chronicle we ran for one month a

series of commercials produced by Rip Esselstyn for his book called " The Engine

2 Diet " . And in the commercials ( 12 of them ) he gives tips about living on a

" Plant Based Diet " but also avoids the " V " word. If anyone is interested in

hearing those commercials I saved all 12 and can easily send you one or two in

MP3 Format.
