This truth is simple and is, therefore, easy to explain. You must eat to live. But the choice of what you eat is yours. There is an individual, specific diet that best supports the health, function, and longevity of each and every animal. The proper diet for human beings is based on starches.
The more rice, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and beans you eat, the trimmer and healthier you will be — and with those same food choices you will help save the Planet Earth, too.
This talk is by John McDougall MD from the VegSource Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2010. You can purchase a copy of all 14 fascinating and life-saving talks from the Expo on DVD. This one is long. If you don’t have time to watch the full video, here are some key points.

Key points of this video:
- Starch provides the energy our bodies need to run efficiently.
- Humans are designed as “seekers of starch” through our tastebuds.
- Starches are “clean fuel” and low in fat.
- “All large populations of trim, healthy people, throughout verifiable human history, have obtained the bulk of their calories from starch.”
- The development of civilizations was fueled primarily by grains.
- A starch-based diet makes sense financially and ecologically.
Dr. McDougall teaches eating a starch-based diet (grains, beans, legumes, potatoes, sweet potatoes) that includes fruits and vegetables.
