Scott Jurek Athlete Dedicated to Health

As an athlete, I was ostensibly dedicated to health, which would lead to optimal performance. As a physical therapist, I was supposed to be helping people with their bodies, but I didn't spend a second focusing on their diet. Was it a coincidence that sick people were being served starchy, crappy food? If a balanced diet could make you faster, could a bad diet make you sick?

The old man wasn't talking, but I could hear the secret he was telling me.

What we eat is a matter of life and death. Food is who we are.
