Dr John McDougall passed away in his sleep last night. He was 77 years old. I pray for his wife and family. He loved his family so much!

"John A. McDougall (May 17, 1947 - June 22, 2024) was an American physician and author. He has written a number of diet books advocating the consumption of a low-fat vegan diet based on starchy foods and vegetables."

He was a diet Dr. Read one of his books way back in the 80/90, I think.

@Kachina624 He's been around since the 1970's. He's very easy to google.

@Sweet Kitties.  One shouldn't have to Google to understand a post.  I don't read diet books and never heard of him.

I also don't have a clue who he is and appreciate when an OP makes some statement clarifying about whom they are posting.

@Sweet Kitties  I also had never neard of him and agree with others that you can't assume everyone knows who you may be posting about.  A little extra detail would have been helpful. Thank you.

Why does almost every post/thread have to devolve to snark and insults.  Yes,maybe some or most don't know who he is, but berating the OP for not giving more information is just silly
