The problem with people in this country is they like to eat like kings and queens. They eat the richest diet ever known, and as a result they look like kings and queens. It's the answer to health problems individually and also nationally. Yes, both in our personal diet and our company, Dr. McDougall's Right Foods, which has no genetically engineered foods in the products. Because it just didn't sound right.

In addition to being interested in the dietary practices of people, I'm a medical doctor and through the years I've been really concerned about misinformation given to patients. A lot of my writings have been about misinformation in terms of bypass surgery and other types of operations. I went into medicine with the idea that I was going to save all these lives with all the tricks and tools that medical doctors learn. And what I found was that very few of my patients got well. That I often did harm to them.
