Therefore, claims to the contrary would be false, would they not, if Dr. Hershaft's observations were true. Now, if Dr. Hershaft is a credible witness and observer, we might have reason to believe his comments. Dr. Hershaft was the organizer and coordinator of Animal Rights 2000, where Dr. John Hagelin talked, presumably about the hazards of genetically modified food. All food at AR 2000 was vegan, and Dr. Hershaft would (presumably) had plenty of opportunity to have spoken with Dr. Hagelin about diet. How do I know that Dr. Hershaft has said this? Well, I e-mailed him privately in personal e-mail. Now, MIGHT Dr. John Hagelin be vegetarian today? Yes! (But like many kinds of speculation, we don't really know for sure, and we could only surmise, but guesses are guesses and not intellectually binding - they don't require us to believe what is merely guessing.) But vegetarian claims about the candidates, their wives and their daughters fly constantly. The current President has a daughter who had been a " Vegetarian Times " magazine r, according to the staff at " Vegetarian Times " magazine, and is widely believed to be vegetarian. My thinking is that we ought ONLY to put into the US White House someone with at least one committed vegetarian in the family - and preferably more. BTW, Dr. John Hagelin's candidacy for the Natural Law Party is unquestioned, and National Public Radio reporters have determined that BOTH Pat Buchanan and Dr. John Hagelin will probably be on the presidential ballots in all 50 states, each becoming an independent or allowed on the ballot in some other way, if the " Reform Party " designation is not allowed by their names.
