His products are great but it is not necessary to purchase in order to get the newsletter. IMHO his video interviews are excellent and all suggestions are worth considering. See how it fits into your belief system and if it makes sense to you. LW888

Does his research include any clinical trials or data of his own or is it simply selected articles from his reading
So he says in that story fat is needed in a diet, who said it's not?
Are you saying a person can't Get Enough Fat Eating a Plant-based Diet?
Fat is present in all fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods.
Strawberries are 5 percent fat; bell peppers, 6 percent; broccoli, 8 percent; spinach, 11 percent; and soybeans, 41 percent. Several high-fat plant foods contain in excess of 80 percent fat, including certain nuts and seeds, as well as avocados, olives, and coconuts. By eating a delicious, plant-happy diet, you will consume roughly 9 to 15 percent of your total calories from fat, which is ideal.
Getting your fat from plant-based foods means you will be consuming
healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats as opposed to dangerous saturated fats. You will be able to eat more food than you ever dreamed of without gaining weight and feel wonderful!
Just a side note for you fight fans, Tim Bradly v Manny Pacquiao last night was won by a vegan!
