He celebrates rare beef and sings stale bread. It turns out that Walt Whitman, the legendary “Leaves of Grass” poet who died in 1892, was a very early adopter of the “paleo diet,” a trendy food regimen that promotes meat and eschews dairy products, grains and processed foods, according to a series of columns uncovered by a University of Houston graduate student. NPR talked to the student, Zachary Turpin, who discovered Whitman’s advice columns drafted in his own hand. Called “Manly Health and Training,” they were written under the pseudonym Mose Velsor for the New York Atlas newspaper. Whitman’s recommended diet sounds similar to the paleo diet, which, if you have even one friend who follows it, you have likely heard about at least 100 times. The poet urged men to eat “a simple diet of rare-cooked beef, seasoned with a little salt, and accompanied with stale bread or sea-biscuit. Mutton, if lean and tender, is also commendable. Pork should not be eaten.” Although he was all right with a little bit of salt, Whitman advised against most condiments. And salted meats were out (sorry, jerky fans). “Butter, pepper, catsup, oil, and most of the ‘dressings,’ must also be eschewed,” Whitman wrote. “Lobster and chicken salad, cabbage, cucumbers, and even potatoes, are to be turned away from. Salted meats are not to be partaken of either.” Whitman didn’t make any exceptions for breakfast. “Ham, gravy, fried potatoes … must be eschewed,” he wrote. A cup of tea was OK with him, but it “must be left till the last.” Whitman’s columns didn’t just focus on the joys of lean mutton and stale bread. He also urged men to grow beards, which, he claimed, provide “great sanitary protection to the throat — for purposes of health it should always be worn, just as much as the hair of the head should be.” Perhaps predictably, the poet had no tolerance for people who like to sleep in. “To you, clerk, literary man, sedentary person, idler, the same advice. Up!” Whitman commanded. “The world (perhaps you now look upon it with pallid and disgusted eyes) is full of zest and beauty for you, if you approach it in the right spirit. Out in the morning!” If you’re eager to read more of Whitman’s advice, you’re in luck: All of the columns have been republished in the Walt Whitman Quarterly Review, and can be read online.

By Anna Starostinetskaya | May 2, 2016 In cattle country, Texas’ Midland Memorial Hospital is promoting a plant-based plan to help its patients prevent and cure disease. Midland Memorial Hospital—a leading medical facility in the state of Texas—is the first to promote a plant-based diet for treatment and prevention of disease. Staton Awtrey, MD, a cardiac surgeon at the hospital, told media outlet Fronteras: The Changing America Desk that “we decided to embark on offering plant-based meals first for the patients as a prescribed diet,” and revealed future plans of educating staff and visitors of the same. The hospital’s vice president of planning and marketing revealed that she is actively trying to reach clinicians, physicians, and dietitians with the information about plant-based eating—a lifestyle she herself adopted after attending a local seminar on the topic. “It is becoming mainstream,” Awtrey said, “and to deny it is just a fallacy. This is coming. We just want to be at the head of the pack.” Last year, the all-vegan hospital Barnard Medical Center opened in Washington DC, to promote food as medicine and have inspired many other medical facilities—including Maine Medical Center—to follow in its footsteps.
