Deja vu!  Where had I heard the tone of this message before?  So I checked and
found it on pages 1-7 of Jack Raso's "Mystical Diets."

Yes Jack, king of the quotation marks, tells a tale of being a true-believer
and of then losing faith, whatever that is.  Today, posing as a registered
dietitian, but actually a QuackWatch spin doctor, he is a full convert to the
AMA's strategic plan to do us all in.  If you're not familiar with the book,
you may enjoy a quickie read.
