The amazing results coming out of a low carb diet? Just look at the recent news of The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper's heart attack. That's what low-carb will get you. Watch Forks Over Knives. Read The Starch Solution by Dr. McDougall. Look at any data not funded by the meat, dairy, and egg industries. It all points to the opposite of the popularized myth that starches are bad. I wish you the best of health!
I'm open-minded, but I'll always go with the data. As Dr. Kim Williams the president of the American College of Cardiology said "There are two kinds of cardiologists: vegans and those who haven’t read the data."
After I watched Forks Over Knives on Netflix it took me about 2 years to become 100% plant based, but I've been doing it now for over a year and I can guarantee you I'll never go back.
I work in an industry where I see the side effects of the Standard American Diet, and if you saw the health effects I see you'd switch too.
Here in Austin we have several monthly potlucks based upon the Plant Pure Nation pods idea, which makes it easier to find like minded people and new recipes. Also, Facebook groups like McDougall Friends is great for support, if you need it.

Good thing the Google founders have grown up and don't need adult supervision anymore.
I really like this.
The data on sunshine seems off to me. Surely San Antonio, TX has more sunshine than Lexington, KY.
The people you mention came before the theory of evolution. I doubt any of them would be believers if they had that info.
I followed the steps in the article and it has messed up my YouTube to where it is delayed by about 15 seconds in loading videos.
His biography titled Escape from Camp 14 is well worth a listen to get more details.
Check out Errol Morris' documentary The Thin Blue Line. It really makes evident the "career" climbers in the justice system and how they can spoil freedom for those who they target.

Americans spend about 2x more on Halloween candy ($2.2B)
Just to put these numbers into perspective, something the infographic fails to do even though it slaps on the label "Big Money", Americans spend 15x more on pet food than both political candidates and parties combined spend on political speech.

A memorable quote from this documentary (now on Netflix)
“(Steve) Jobs is a national treasure. He’s so visionary, so bright. I had to fire him, though.” -Arthur Rock
You are right. I should have said public radio shows This American Life and Radio Labs (where Lehrer was a frequent contributor). I originally thought he was on This American Life too, but can't verify that.
It's not been a good year for This American Life.
First their story about abuse at Apple factories in China turned out to be piece of fiction. Now all this with their contributor Jonah Lehrer.
How much is parking?
Looks very nice in Chrome.
Steve Jobs was right. Adobe is lazy.
"Felt betrayed" should be changed to "was betrayed", then it would be a true apology. Otherwise, it is just a sort of blaming the victim.
My reaction to that photo is that he is a down-to-earth guy who wears his passion on his sleeve.
At the end there's a link to an Amazon page with related book titles, but unfortunately the page is down. Lots of missed affiliate revenue.
