Anybody else not buying what Hirsch has to say?? When people are selling diet books, I don't believe 99% of it. Usually it is some person good at speaking authoritatively, which translates to book sales and disciples to send money, and a lot of opinion underpinned by truthy sounding "science." Trashing the competition is a integral part of this and the disciples get very agitated and self righteous. The best advice about diet I have read is "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com.
