Price Foundation, about his conversation with Russian Cosmonaut, Edward Alper, living now in Texas and training Russian cosmonauts. Where does this man McAfee find time to run a diary farm - in itself a 24/7 job? 30kms. East of Moscow, these trainees and their families live and work with their doctors to achieve optimal health. School kids' diets are strictly controlled - no sweetened beverages, no junk foods. The residents eat only whole and unprocessed food, and ALL THE MILK IS RAW. Alper says illness is very rare in Star City. He says in Russia pasteurized milk is described as "watered down sheetrock" because it has the same taste and nutritional value. Their national drink (other than vodka), kefir, is NEVER made from pasteurized milk. America, on the other hand, recently failed the medical check-up as per TIME magazine's recent cover story. McAfee says that medicine that ignores whole food nutrition is doomed to failure. I couldn't agree more. Secretary Vilsack, are you listening?
