“He’s never had to take medicine in his life. He can get sniffles and a runny nose but he’s not down, he still goes to school. Two times in his life has he been like ‘Mommy I don’t feel good,’ and it was only for a few hours and he was back running around.”
– Alicia Silverstone, who credits veganism with keeping her son healthy.

I’m not sure she’s doing ALL the right things but there is some logic to eating (and feeding a kid) what naturally would have been available to us were we growing/foraging for food. All the crap we eat is mostly thanks to processing that makes stuff that’s not ideally “food” edible. And then I’ll add, I think salt is as bad as sugar. Not that I’ve given up either but w/o salt, we probably wouldn’t eat 90% of the crap available.
It’s all good , if your body never gets sick then it also never learns to use it’s own Immune system and when the time comes he will need it let’s just hope it ready. It’s like if u never start a car what happens.
Thank you for repeatedly infecting your son‘s grade school, Alicia. #EyeRoll
Although there are benefits to a good diet, its highly unlikely to last. The comment about not having the fku or a cold for 2 years is not that unusual in a healthy adukt, regardless of diet. Youve probably not been exposed. Likewise for her child. She describes classic signs of a kid getting a cold. Hes able to shake it off, but sending him to school when he has symptoms is irresponsible. While her child may remain well, hes exposing other children.
Yeah, sure…Correlation always implies causation…no, not it doesn’t.
The reputation of crazyass celebrities continues! Anti-Science idiocy knows no single faction or party.
Laugh all you want at the “crazy” actress, but she’s right. Went plant based two years ago and no longer need blood pressure meds and never get colds or flu anymore.
I’ve not had the flu in over 8 years and I’m not Vegan, also I’ve had one cold in 2 years. I eat healthy but I also eat meat.
I’m not knocking the lifestyle, I’ve been tempted but I like to eat what I eat but maintain a lifestyle which means I don’t get sick.
