This reads like an ad for Dr. John McDougall. His theories, which are that you need to be vegan to be healthy and take supplements for B12 are controversial and it needs to be put into the body of the article. Ruth E (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

The article does read like a vanity page. I am going to add some content to put it into perspective. Tom Barrister 13:20, 26 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tombarrister (talk • contribs)

This article still reads like an ad for McDougall. Personally I think his stance that eating more vegetables while stopping chemotherapy will cure cancer makes him an obvious quack. There should at least be something in this article about how his "views" are not widely (at all?) shared within the medical or scientific community.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.94.194.242 (talk) 15:15, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

If you can cite actual sources stating that other doctors and scientists do not share his views, feel free to add them to the article. Funcrunch (talk) 18:44, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Personal diet

It appears John A. McDougall does not identify himself as a strict vegetarian. In an interview he was asked "How long have you been a been a vegetarian?". He replied, "My diet has been 99.9% vegetarian for the past 28 years." Nirvana2013 (talk) 10:38, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

True, he eats a slice of turkey every other year to "prove" he's not a vegetarian. Funcrunch (talk) 18:48, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
