Why Americans Can't Poop

Robin Quivers: Oprah Goes Vegan

"Recently, Oprah did a show about 378 members of her staff going vegan for a week. One week of vegan eating isn't much in a lifetime of poor eating habits, but it's something. What small improvements did a vegan diet make to the staffers' health in that short period of time?

It's my contention that anyone eating the standard American diet eats far too much protein, sugar and salt, takes in too many calories and doesn't eat enough fruits and vegetables. So, right away, the balance between protein from meat, fish and dairy and the intake of vegetables shifted for Oprah's staffers in a positive direction. Even the government now says we need more plant foods in our diets.

The standard American diet is also low in fiber. That's why Americans can't poop."

Now, I have not eaten a single bite of meat since ThanksGiving.
I can honestly say that Opera is pretty much correct.

I am a regular type of guy now. Thanks for taking interest.
