Calcium and Strong Bones
I am often asked as a vegan about calcium and strong bones. “If I don’t drink milk or eat cheese where will I get my calcium?” Well, where do cows get calcium? (Hint – not from drinking milk). According to the dairy councils own data, milk (or any other dairy product) does not build strong [...]
Organic Meats Are Not Health Foods
I am puzzled when I hear people talk about eating organic meats as if they were eating health food. Organic meat is not health food! The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) tells us that “while concentrations of some contaminants may be decreased, switching to organic meat does nothing to decrease the risk for the [...]
Vegetarian Starter Kit Free Download
In the last few days several clients have asked about the Vegetarian Starter Kit and were excited to learn about the free download. Even though I wrote a post last year about the Vegetarian Starter Kit I decided that it would be worthwhile to post again with the link so that you can download it [...]
Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With Dr. Neal Barnard
I found Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With Dr. Neal Barnard, by Michael Tobias, to be a well written and informative interview.

Cupcakes May Be Addictive, Just Like Cocaine
I’ve said for years that foods like cupcakes are as addictive as cocaine and there is now a growing body of scientific research to back up this statement. In his book Breaking the Food Seduction, Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) writes about the addictive qualities of foods and [...]
Omega-3 Fatty Acids Increase Prostate Cancer Risk
According to Neal Barnard, MD, the President of The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM), omega-3 fatty acids increase the risk of prostate cancer. Have you been believing all the hype about omega-3? Well, think again. In many recent studies, fish oil has not lived up to its marketing claims. Specifically, it is no help [...]
Turkey Sub & McDonald’s Oatmeal Among Worst “Healthy” Fast Foods
I frequently hear people tell me that they had a healthy lunch of a turkey sub or ate McDonald’s oatmeal for breakfast - assuming it would be healthy. “NOT SO,” says the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine. PCRM dietitians found that some fast-food items advertised as healthy choices are actually high in fat, cholesterol, sugar, [...]
Neal Barnard MD, President of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
I have been along time supporter of Neal Barnard, MD and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. In fact, prior to publishing my book, Becoming Slender For Life, Dr. Neal Barnard’s book, Breaking the Food Seduction was part of the introductory kit at Slender For Life™. I have studied nutrition for the past 16 years [...]
Meals For Health with John Robbins

Programs like VegSource, Dr. McDougall’s Health and Medical Center, the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and Slender For Life™ are committed to offering people the opportunity for health. I continue to believe that healthcare reform [...]
Potatoes ~ Still the Perfect Food
YES, potatoes are still the perfect food. And, I am sure that you have heard that you shouldn’t eat potatoes for weight loss or if you have diabetes. All large populations of trim healthy people throughout verifiable human history, have obtained the bulk of their calories from STARCH. Thank goodness for people like Dr. John [...]
Why Hypnosis To Eat Healthy?
You would think that it would be a no-brainer to eat healthy so why would hypnosis be necessary? I recently received the following comment on my post that was titled, The Starch Solution with John McDougall: “Why does one need hypnosis to go from the standard American diet to a starch-based diet? It really only [...]
Vegetarian Diets Are Healthier
Imagine that! I, Roger Moore, stating that vegetarian diets are healthier. If you have spent five minutes with me this should be no surprise. More and more studies are coming out showing that vegetarian and vegan diets are healthier for everyone – not just some of us. Experts like Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, [...]
Power to the Plate
I am sure you have heard about the new MyPlate from the USDA, but have you heard about the Power Plate from the Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM)? The Power Plate clearly demonstrates healthy nutrition. The USDA’s new plate diagram is a step in the right direction from the old MyPyramid, but the [...]
