John McDougall MD On COVID-19 and Climate Change
No one lives in a vacuum. We are all influenced by our experiences, our study and by the people we meet. Dr. John McDougall has been one of my mentors and a source of inspiration since I came across his work in the late 90's. His accomplishments could fill a book on its own. He is a wise and trusted teacher who speaks the truth. Dr. McDougall shares intellectual curiosity, enormous energy, perseverance and the ability to see the connections between things as you will see from his slide on this post and in our interview link here.
Dr. McDougall is the best-selling author of 13 books including the internationally acclaimed The Starch Solution a physician and nutrition expert who teaches better health through ‘It’s the Food’, he has been studying, writing and speaking out about the effects of nutrition on disease for over fifty years. He is the founder and director of the internationally renowned McDougall Program now available online. Dr McDougall has been one of the trailblazers of the movement away from an animal-based diet, and an outspoken critic of nutritional nonsense for decades. I call him the man of truth.
Climate Change
In this passionate interview Doctor McDougall refers to COVID-19 as the climate comet to unite humanity to avoid extinction and asks, "Shall we delay for a more serious calamity? COVID26? More time is not an option,." Dr. McDougall is back with even more fire in his belly to ignite a global conversation so please share this interview with family, friends, colleagues, and quite frankly anyone with a pulse. We must wake people up, there is nothing new under the sun. We have the answer in our hands, or on our plates so to speak.
Everything is Connected
When we are driven by passion and not fear, everything falls into place. When nature is in jeopardy, we MUST take action. All living organisms exist as interconnected parts of the natural whole. No element is superfluous, not even the smallest insect or microbe. This entire system is sustained by natural energy of the elements. With climate change impacting our global environment in so many ways, it seems that nature herself is punishing us for the way we live.
For many people the shift to vegan eating is driven by environmental concerns. One of the most important aspects of our food choices is the impact that they have on the planet. It is a fact that some of the most critical influences on climate change and species loss are directly related to what we eat. A healthy diet should be sustainable and benefit all life, human and non-human alike.
Dr. McDougall states quite categorically that if everyone changed to a vegan diet we would reduce C02 production as high as 80% and this is something we can all do. It's simple and easy to understand, it's cost effective. The man of truth is on the road to avoid species extinction. Planetary extinction can happen within the next 6 to 12 years and that is a direct quote from the world panel on climate change. A vegan world has been my vision for decades.
Repetitive Injuries Cause Planetary Destruction
The analogy that Dr. McDougall's makes is that disease is a result of repeated abuse. Our continued abuse through poor diet and life-style is like throwing gasoline on the fire (the food). This is exactly the same way we should look at the destruction of our planet. We MUST stop the injuries.
