For all the hassle involved, is [low-fat raw veganism] really worth the effort?

Journalist: Okay, this raw vegan thing—it requires planning. It requires that you to stand up and be noticed. It requires you to go against the grain. It requires that you get ridiculed. It requires that you get hassled when you go to restaurants, travel, go to see your family. Dr. Graham, for all the hassle involved, for all the work, is it really worth the effort?

Dr. Graham: I’ve been following a 100% do-not-look-back raw vegan lifestyle for 30 years. Do you think that if it wasn’t worth the effort that I would have gone past 25 years? Do you think I would have quit at 20 if wasn’t working for me? 

Taking great care of myself is paying dividends.

—Dr. Doug Graham
