“Some people think the ‘plant-based, whole foods diet’ is extreme. Half a million people a year will have their chests opened up and a vein taken from their leg and sewn onto their coronary artery. Some people would call that extreme.” Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., M.D.

“People eat meat and think they will become strong as an ox, forgetting that the ox eats grass.” Pino Caruso

“When you start eating food without labels, you no longer need to count calories.” Amanda Kraft
