A firefighter's all-vegetable diet

Rip Esselstyn follows in the footsteps of his father Caldwell B. Esselstyn in advocating a plant-based diet

WKSU's Vivian Goodman reports
Orange High School grad Rip Esselstyn's great-grandfather founded the Cleveland Clinic. His father once headed the Clinic's staff. One of Esselstyn's grandfathers pioneered partial mastectomies and the other was Lou Gehrig's personal physician. Rip Esselstyn isn't a doctor; he fights fires for a living. But he has found another way to save lives : an all-vegetable diet.

Listener Comments:

I learned about your "healthy" eating plan while listening to NPR on my way to work this morning. I have been wanting to go to plant based eating, so will try your book. Thank you for your willingness to go out of the box!!! Frances
