I particularly like the paragraphs to the left of the insert bar (about 90-min walk slashing death).....
The DM is obsessed with Australian 'nutritionists', so, and with apologies to our Australian members, you could say it's a refreshing change to feature an American rather than photos of sun-kissed blondes with neon-white teeth holding an avocado. Although there is a photo of a brunette holding an avocado.Few sensible people in the comments at least...
Didn't realise the DM featured Dr G often..I am surprised they go for the WFPB option... would have thought they were more roast beef of ye olde england...
This is written by Michael Greger, an evangelical vegan who blogs constantly about whole foods-plant foods without citing any evidence about his assertions.

Yes, you'd think with a study of that magnitude which appears to back up his assertions, he'd be citing it everywhere![/QUOTE
