Don't you see, a fit and healthy patient is BAD for bu$ine$$. So scare tactics and doubt are in order to keep patient$ coming for them to solve their problems.

There is a genuine HATRED between the alopathic crowd that loves to push synethic patented drugs and those that advise a nutritious diet. As Hippocrites (sp) used to say, "Let you medicine be your food and your food be your medicine." He USED to be the father of medicine till our "wisdom" drove us to, hey got a problem, here's a pill and you don't have to change ANYTHING in your life. Besides the drug companies will send me on trips, give me kick backs AND since most of their patents are running out value me, the allopath, even more for synthetic drug pushing. Pssssssst if the liver and kidney damage gets to be too much, I'll just nudge a colleague and tell him about you and line you up for a transplant with MORE synthetic drugs to follow for the rest of your life.

No, I think it's the red meat that people object to. They have been so brainwashed about cholesterol and threatened by the PETA freaks that the idea of eating meat every day is beyond the pale for them. The fact is, we don't eat any more red meat than we did before starting the diet.

The vegan culture is a major force in England. Furthermore, they have had a mad cow scare that has all but destroyed their cattle industry and their fight against genetically treated foods is a political catalyst.

In other words, this feeds nicely into the hands of the micro-managing liberals agenda of telling everyone else how they should lived based upon wacko elitest ideas of right and wrong. Linda McCartney's legacy--only eat organic vegetables and you, too, can be a worthy person.
