Mark Sisson on Fox News 11 in Los Angeles

Mark Sisson, author of Mark's Daily Apple, was recently featured on Fox News 11 in Los Angeles - discussing health, diet and fitness to morning viewers.  Among the viewer questions he answered:

• I was wondering if there is any way to go vegetarian. I want to go veggie but I don’t know how to go. Any ideas?
