Forbes Publisher Rich Karlgaard Praises Vegan–”The Engine 2 Diet”

Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes magazine since 1998, pays his premiums to the best health care plan in the world–a vegan diet.
Karlgaard took to his blog to discuss how eating mostly vegan helped him shed pounds and shared his thoughts on what the typical vegan is like.
It’s not just for the hippies, you know. Even the three piece suits on Wallstreet can enjoy soba noodles.
“The notion of a vegan diet is repellent to a lot of men and especially conservative men,” Karlgaard said. “If you’re like me, your mental picture of a “vegan” might be that of an eco-hippie or a PETA purist or someone who eschews deodorant as well as meat. That’s increasingly inaccurate.”
Along with the stereotype of vegan men, Karlgaard bashes the notion all veggies live in southern California.
One well known vegan book by Rip Esselstyn proves that.
“If you want to learn more about vegan diets without the annoying eco-lecture that often goes with it, I recommend The Engine 2 Diet. The author is a former pro triathlete and now a firefighter in Texas.”
“Vegans in Texas? Heck, yes.”
