I have no problems with the edits to my admittedly, very spartan initial definition. However, I'm wondering if we can add the term 'starch' to the current definition. It's unique and a key aspect of the work of Dr. McDougall. Such as like this: ''American physician and best-selling author promoting a low-oil, vegan, starch-based diet.'' Cheers, [[User:Jack S.

why this article is here
There was a Wikipedia version of this article, but it was heavily biased against the subject, incomplete, and with inaccurate information. It labeled his work as a fad diet, and also implied that he was not respected as a physician. I believe this is blatant bias on the part of Wikipedia editors...A mainstream 'knowledge' view such as that presented by Wikipedia editors is not always correct. It should not be the job of an encyclopedia to ram a particular viewpoint down the reader's throat. I think what we want to do is present all the information about a topic in a fair and balanced way so that the reader can make a reasonable judgment. That is what I am trying to do here. Jack S.

Definition suggestion
I have no problems with the edits to my admittedly, very spartan initial definition. However, I'm wondering if we can add the term 'starch' to the current definition. It's unique and a key aspect of the work of Dr. McDougall. Such as like this: American physician and best-selling author promoting a low-oil, vegan, starch-based diet. Cheers, Jack S.
