[John McDougall]

Breaking News today, March 3, 2010.

It's about time.

We are at the beginning of a truth revolution on medical care and nutrition.

Excellent news. The American Cancer Society of all people! What's next, the Heart Ass'n. saying their Step 2 diet ain't makin' it?

"Truth revolution" has a nice ring to it, maybe we should re-cast a new Liberty Bell, complete with the oak wood holding it up, from the original bell.
