I`m not a particularly huge fan of Bill Clinton for reasons I won`t get into here.... however, the fact that he is a `figure head` and is discussing that a plant based diet will hopefully ``reverse heart disease`` is at least a TWO THUMBS UP for him.

My only concern is he talks about consuming fish now and again. I think at this point it should be all or nothing. I could compare this to quitting smoking. Some people quit smoking, except perhaps a few smokes on weekends. That`s not quitting.

As Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. once said `do you want to be shot or hung` the health implications are inevitable, it`s just about timing - a fast or slow death.

I think Bill Clinton should wipe all animal flesh off his plate to give this his best shot. If he fails will it be based on his `fish`consumption - and others will perceive that a vegan diets just doesn`t work. This puts a monkey wrench into what people like us are trying to promote.
I believe the rule is `no exceptions`.
If he`s truly fighting for his life, he must go all plant based and give that a fair shot.

I wish him well.

Dr. Campbell,
I was recently directed to the film, Forks Over Knives, by my primary care physician, Dr. Benjamin Gozun (Brooklyn, NY), which film convinced me to give the plant-based whole foods diet a try (just about a week ago). I'm already feeling a difference, despite having been a fitness enthusiast already for many years. Previously, I've been a vegetarian and an omnivore, alternatively, for several periods of my life, as I've continued to explore the evidence for either, as well as according to personal factors not directly related to scientific/health considerations. Yours is the most comprehensive, compelling case I have come across for what appears to be a most healthy diet/lifestyle. (As a philosophy professor, I am not easily fooled by specious reasoning, and I am usually very slow to accept anything, much less embrace anything whole-heartedly, in advance of sufficient evidence.) I want to thank you for your life's work, and compliment you on the virtues you exhibit in your response to your critics. You strike me as an exemplary human being, and your integrity is inspiring to me.

Congratulations Mrs Minger for study in depth the subject. For his clear explanation. A notice of Languedoc in France
