{1}  DIET OF DEATH: HIGH PROTEIN CRAZE
Two Hour Special Report - part 2
Joel Fuhrman, M.D., author of Eat to Live
with testimony of Jody Gorran, Atkins Diet survivor

"Vegetarianism is unhealthy."
"Humans need protein, and lots of it."
"Put down those sprouts and pick up a T-bone!"
--- Michael Moore in his latest book, "Dude, Where's My Country?"

GO VEGAN TEXAS!
Today from 11am - 1pm (CST)
90.1 FM-Houston and 89.5 FM-Galveston

"People are desperate to lose weight and these high protein diet books 
preach what people want to hear:  you can eat lots of cholesterol and 
saturated fat and still lose weight. This romance can lead to tragic 
consequences, with some people literally dying to lose weight." --- Joel 
Fuhrman, Family Physician and author, Eat to Live

"The  Atkins diet gave me heart disease. For two and a half years that I was 
on the diet, I was extolling its virtues to literally anybody who I came 
across. The problem was I kept doing that up until the point that I was 
diagnosed with heart disease."
--- Jody Gorran at a news conference, National Press Club in Washington, 
D.C., November  20, 2003

"For me, being a vegan is as logical as not smoking, practicing safe sex, 
and driving with my seat belt on. This is not about ideology or opinion ‹ 
the numbers are in and eating animals is out...(yet)...Americans are 
over-consuming blood, bone, fat, and muscle in a big way and this nasty 
little secret has not only helped bring us a virtual holocaust of heart 
disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes, it affects the entire world as we 
know it."
-- Mickey Z, writer in Satya, "Eat Tofu, Save the World"

Jody Gorran went on the Atkins Diet in December 2000.  A heart scam revealed 
the now 53 year old businessman had a healthy heart and no medical problems 
before embarking on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet.  But after more 
than two years on this diet, he began experiencing angina. Gorran discovered 
that his cholesterol had shot from a pre-diet level of 146 to 230. An 
angiogram showed a severe artery blockage, and Gorran underwent angioplasty. 
His cardiologist told him he could have died.

Lisa Huskey was happy about being on a diet with her 16-year-old daughter, 
Rachel, until Rachel dropped dead from a heart arrhythmia in class. Lisa 
says the high-fat, high-protein approach advocated by the Atkins diet was 
responsible.

Gorran  will talk about his brush with death in the first hour with our 
guest: Joel Fuhrman, MD, author of Eat to Live:The Revolutionary Formula for 
Fast and Sustained Weight Loss,  the gold standard of books on diet and 
weight loss.  (Note:  Dr. Fuhrman was a guest on our February 23 show: Eat 
to Live: a Life Plan not a Diet). Today, Dr. Fuhrman will examine the Atkins 
and other popular diets that are incredibly high  in saturated fat and whose 
menus  for their devotees prohibit and restrict the foods known to offer 
powerful protection against cancer and heart disease.  Dr. Fuhrman believes 
these diets go against all the leading research linking diet and disease.

John Rose, Houston wellness consultant and member of our Go Vegan Texas! 
Collective, Committee on Health and Nutrition, will co host today's expanded 
two hour show. Your calls to Dr. Fuhrman and Jody Gorran are most welcome.  
You can call the studio line:  (713) 526-5738.

{2}  BIZARRO: DAN PIRARO WITH ASHLEY LOU SMITH, RIC O'BARRY & LISA FRANZETTA

Watchdog -- Monday, March 22:  Dan Piraro, creator of the syndicated Bizarro 
cartoon, will be my guest in the studio with his wife Ashley Lou Smith. He 
referred to Smith, upon accepting his Genesis Award on Saturday night, as 
his "muse and mentor."
She is an animal rights activist, particularly active on Farm Sanctuary's 
anti-veal campaigns.

Bizarro is a syndicated newspaper cartoon that appears in approximately 200 
newspapers around the world. The cartoon looks at all walks of life, but 
since Piraro is an outspoken vegan activist, it often addresses animal 
issues. We will be chatting with Piraro about some of his cartoons and the 
issues behind them.

Two areas to which Piraro has recently turned his attention are the use of 
captive dolphins for entertainment and fur as fashion. Joining us to talk 
about those issues:

-- Ric O'Barry, who was Flipper's trainer and now fights marine mammal 
captivity

and

-- Lisa Franzetta, an anti-fur activist with PETA.

Watchdog is produced by Janee Taylor and hosted by Karen Dawn. It airs 
Mondays at 2pm on KPFK, 90. 7 in Los Angeles and San Diego, and 98.7 in 
Santa Barbara. If you are not in range you can listen live on line at 2pm US 
Pacific Time, 5pm Eastern: http://www.KPFK.org

We almost always take callers (last week was the exception) and would love 
your participation. The call-in number is: (818) 985-5735. That's (818) 985 
KPFK

Listen if you can, and please send comments to Watchdog at KPFK.org . (I send a 
huge thank you to those who already have.)
Watchdog is a 13 week series. Positive feedback will make it more likely 
that Pacifica will eventually put an animal issues series on the air 
permanently.

Yours and the animals',
