SICKO, SICKO, SICKO

even if you love others, right now, SICKO has to be the most important in terms of its relevance to our immediate lives

I wish we could get Micheal Moore to do a documentary on the effects of the SAD diet. If he could team up with the author of The China Study and The Omnivore's Dilemma, that would be so utterly cool. McDonalds was in the hot seat, why not the meat and dairy industry as a whole? And toss in refined sugar and corn syrup for good measure!

I wish Michael Moore would go on a raw diet. He's going to have a serious heart attack and then who is going to make all those cool documentaries? I really do like him, even though sometimes I think he goes too far, and I just imagine his health is very poor. Michael, are you reading this? You need to try raw!
