Description:
I am a region sales director for a Fortune 500 Company, covering 15 states in the Midwest. I travel at least 2 to 3 trips a month, sometimes even more. When not working, I am golfing, practicing yoga, working with my 180 gallon reef tank, tinkering with vegan recipes, playing with my dog, staying out of my wife's way, or traveling to a far corner of the world on a new adventure. I am a "dietary vegan" with occassional moments of weakness.
I think they had Dr Ornish on because Bill Clinton named him as one of the people that inspired him to go on this diet. So, if true, then I have to at least give Ornish kudos for that. The fact that Ornish works for McDonalds doesn't bother me either. Maybe, possibly, miraculously he can work with them over time to get them to serve more healthy food. You have to start somewhere. McDonalds isn't going away. Working with them and consulting with them on healthier products is wise. McDonbalds only cares about the commercial viability of their menu items. If Ornish can show them that they can serve healthier food that is still commercially viable, they will do it. Who knows, maybe one day the McDonalds in the US will eventually be like the McDonalds in India? Half the menu is vegetarian/vegan.
"Grains, apples, kiwi, pears, peaches, avocado, bananas, cooked vegetables, and dried beans have other things in them as well"
Sorry, just shoot me in the head now and let's get it over with.

Gorillas are vegan. Unlike chimpanzees and other primates, gorillas eat only plant based foods. Why in the world would a reputable zoo feed gorillas anything but plant based foods?!!
