Hi Gary,
Actually, I didn’t know about the book, so I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the info!

As you probably know, his dad is Caldwell B. Esselstyn, cardiologist and author of “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease,” which details some pretty amazing effects of a low-fat vegan diet. I recommend the book for anyone who doubts the healing power of a well-planned vegan diet.

You’re right. It’s incredible that so many (or all?) of them made the change. I think I read somewhere that all the firefighters at his station went vegan–is that right?

Hi Stephanie,
Yes, he is rather cool. Jane first read about him last year, and I could have sworn I wrote a post about him and the other firefighters at his station, but I couldn’t find it last night. Anyway, I think the other guys in his group should be applauded as well. It’s not so easy to get a group to agree to a “radical” dietary change like this. Kudos to them all!

He’s a pretty cool guy, isn’t he? I posted on him last week at Change.org’s Animal Rights blog(http://tinyurl.com/awebvq) after seeing a really great article about him and his diet on an Austin Web site (http://tinyurl.com/bwj59w). Wish I would have caught him on the Today show! I’ll have to check out that clip later when I have time.
