>Some good news! A colleague who lives in Chicago and works out in the

>was in the gym in late December, and gave him a copy of The World

>Peace Diet! I had signed it specifically to Obama, and she was able

>A few days ago, a film crew from Supreme Master Television

>(www.suprememasterTV.com) came down to our rolling home by the edge

>made, urging President Obama and all leaders to switch to an organic,

>whole foods vegan diet to exemplify their willingness to be the

>change, and to encourage others to do the same. It is gratifying to

>doing it themselves. Please thank them and encourage others also!

>Also, if you are involved with or interested in the Unity movement,
