Surviving and Preventing Cancer
In the past, only the wealthy few ate a lot of meat: and they suffered the consequences, the so-called Diseases of Affluence such as gout, heart disease & cancer. Now however, thanks to international trade, modern agriculture & marvelous food storage methods, instead of being at risk of starvation from lack of food, we are at risk of killing ourselves with too much of the wrong type of food, too much salt & sugar, too much of the wrong type of protein & fat.

For many years, Dr. John McDougal has called conditions like heart disease, cancer and diabetes, "diseases of affluence". Only the affluent can afford to eat the rich western diet with lots of animal food, dairy and refined and processed foods. The peasants of the world who live on potatoes and rice, on the other hand, are lean and healthier in spite of their lower economic status.
