Plato, Hippocrates, and more

According to "The China Study" (www.thechinastudy.com), In the last chapter, the author says: 150 years ago, there were major discussions about a plant-based, whole food diet for healing purposes vs. cutting "it" out - whatever the problem was.. Plato, Socrates and Hippocrates all understood that a plant-based diet was more healthy and that healing the people would come through diet. 

As it turns out, this is a very old discussion and the one that keeps winning is the one that keeps saying, "but I want it." Eat to live, or live to eat! Hmmmm......
