This guy advocating eating more “healthy” grains and eating less meat thinking this way will make everybody healthier. He’s buying into the mainstream media idea of “healthy diet”.
Just take a look at this guy’s photo, he’s pale as a corpse and look so lethargic, mal-nourish! His dad is not much better either!
