    You’re BOTH amazing. You have both said at different times “Keep it simple”. It’s very easy to get lost in Vegan junk and caught up in recipes. We should be like Mary. Oil is bad…okay toss it. Meat is bad…okay toss it❤️

    This is a whole side of Mary that I've never seen. Thank you, Chef AJ, for giving her the platform to show her for the personable, humourous and brilliantly creative person she is.

    Yay, Mary!! I was thinking about when you first started cooking without oil. You had to learn some brand new techniques because It was really quite uncommon! And teaching people how to do that! How to brown vegetables in a pan without oil! It was revolutionary

    She said Dr. McDougall ate meat, eggs, cheese when he was young and that made him tall, smart, successful and wealthy, but then he decided to turn against that diet since he didn't like those 4 qualities that it gave him. Then he says 99% of the successful living populations ate starch based. Well then how did he end up up eating meat, eggs and cheese? How did that get filtered down from the successful generations if 99% of the people never ate that? Can someone explain this?

    Mary trusted John’s recommendations because she knew he had done the research which amounted to the heavy lifting. The amount of reading he has done must be amazing.

    Sorry, Chef AJ, I had to stop reading through the comments because the site has been invaded by vicious trolls.
    I just wanted to let you and Mary McDougal know how much I enjoyed this video.
    And also, that I searched the description and didn’t see the link to her lasagna recipe.
    Thanks!

    Mary was just the partner John needed. He was right on the money in following the research, and Mary was right there to make it work food wise. I am profoundly grateful for the recipes I love, and for pioneering the way. I see my peers with their meds and health problems and my heart goes out to them.
