Rush Limbaugh Hospital Visit Prompts Go Vegetarian Letter
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 1st, 2010 in Food & Drink, Politicians.
After discovering conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh was hospitalized for chest pains, Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, decided to write Limbaugh a letter suggesting changes to his diet might prevent such medical problems.
A letter urging someone to go veg? That’s right. PCRM must be playing PETA now.
“In our grandparents’ day, people knew the value of humble beans, vegetables, and fruits, often growing them in their own family gardens. These foods have essentially no cholesterol and very little saturated fat. Nowadays, many Americans are very liberal with meat, dairy products, and end up needing to rely on medications to counteract the effects of their diets.”
According to a news release, PCRM also delivered a care packet of fruits, vegetables and other vegan foods, courtesy of Down to Earth, an organic vegetarian store in Oahu.
PCRM says that heart attacks increase during December and January because of eating patterns that occur during the holiday season.
If Rush’s hospital room comes with Internet access, he’ll be able to go online and sign up for the PCRM 21 Day Vegan Kickstart program.
Wishing Rush a speedy recovery because Punkin the cat must really be missing him.
