Interview

[Guest guest]

" In 1990, I was well over 300 pounds. My blood pressure was sky high. My

cholesterol was over 300. I'd sit down and have lunch and my nose would

bleed. I'm not a Rhodes scholar but I knew I was in trouble. I knew I had

to change my diet but I'd rather be caught riding a stolen horse than

admitting to someone that I was a vegetarian.

 

In 1990 I became the world's worst vegetarian. No meat. My diet was

lettuce and dairy products. For a year that was my diet. I lost some

weight. My blood pressure came down slightly. My cholesterol came down

slightly. I thought, " damn if I could do that being the world's worst

vegetarian just think what I could do if I became vegan. " And since

becoming vegan I've lost 130 pounds. My blood pressure is normal. My

cholesterol has dropped from 300 to 135. I saved my life by changing my

diet.

mankind's arsenal. "
