Comment: My Raw Food Experiences (Michelle)

Hi Michelle, I found the China Study to be both Comtroversial and Inspiring! After a number of decades of looking at diets and trying more than a few to manage weight control I became scynical about all the food related publications. It was with some trepidation that I picked up this book at all.
The main push in this book is to have you move away from animal protien. The reason is health related as the author has spent many decades as a scientist advising the US government about the links of animal protien and cancer. As a diet scynic I found the argument to be so compeling that I have changed my diet and can see a total vegetarian diet in the not to distant future. My wife and I started our journey in July last year and it has not been a simple one mainly because of our past eating habits, culture, cooking preferences and not the least our lack of understanding about total nutrition. The steady change has allowed us to come to terms with these issues and it is fair to say that we are feeling much better for it.
Interestingly we are finding our best resources to be vegan related information because their ideoligy pushes them along the same path (for different reasons than ours off course - they want to save the animals we want to save ourselves).
