I basically enjoyed this article, but I don't see why they slam starch so hard. Dr McDougall has shown time and time again that a starch based vegetarian diet is incredibly health promoting but the media seems to constantly ignore what he says. If I was him I'd be flipping out right now.

I think what they were referring to was the white pasta type starch based eating, rather than a whole grain, whole veggies, type starch.

Yeah it could use some clarifying. I did find this part that almost kinda works:

I'd eat them with a side of starch--not whole grains, either--and I picked around any vegetables. Seriously, I ate like a three-year-old. I figured I was doomed unless I did something drastic.

That's when I decided to give up beef and pork. At first, I did it all wrong, replacing my hot dogs with pasta, my bacon with muffins, and my salami with more pasta. Friends would joke that I was a "starchatarian


And then later in the article they refer to "starchatarian" which reminded me of her specifically noting that she was a "starchatarian" and not eating whole grains.

Bit of a stretch but it's kinda there between the lines.
