the latest issue (July 1998, 28(10)), of "The East Bay Monthly", a free newspaper widely distributed in the East Bay area of the San Francisco Bay area (Oakland, Berkeley, etc.) has an interview with long-time fitness guru, Jack LaLanne. Jack is 84 nowadays, and still going strong. The interview is on pg. 34; a few tidbits are as follows * Jack experimented with drinking blood as part of his fitness regimen. He stopped after the anti-coagulant stopped working and he kept getting blood clots stuck in his throat. * Jack grew up here in Berkeley * He says sugar destroys your B-vitamins. * He is a former junk-food junkie, and twice tried to kill his brother with an ax. Anyway, if you have access to the "Monthly" you will find the interview an entertaining read. P.S. admittedly there is little about raw foods in the above - but I thought some here would find the above of interest. Tom Billings
