Henry turned vegan three years ago after his father was diagnosed with cancer. He eats a diet
of whole foods and does not use vitamin and mineral supplements. He also read a book by
John Robbins about reclaiming health, which pointed out the environmental and resource
inefficiencies of raising animal protein, the negative health data generated by the overuse of
animal products, and the health-promoting characteristics of vegetarian diets. He was recently
diagnosed with anemia and complained of numb, cold-feeling fingers and toes.
