He ends his talk with woo. We should fast because Jesus thought it was good.

There's more but I'm on my phone and typing is a pain. That 36 minute video was crap.
Frankly I'm amazed you were willing to sit through more than a minute or two. I wasn't willing to watch long enough to even find out what his "secret magical" diet strategy was.
