nutritional mistakes and suggests simple ways to fix them, with
emphasis on the ancient agricultural revolution and the
domestication of both animals and the wrong plant foods.

M.D., is a founding and current director of the Vegetarian Society
of Hawaii. Prior to his retirement he was an emergency physician
and the director of the Kaiser Permanente Vegetarian Lifestyle
Clinic. He received his medical degree from the University of
California, San Francisco and is the author of The Scientific
Basis of Vegetarianism, now online at his website
(http://www.vegsource.com/harris/ ).
For exercise he swims and does other aerobic

He's been a pilot for many years and a current skydiver with more
than 1000 jumps.
