"The importance of diet has been part of the Jewish consciousness for so long it's become genetic," said Dr. Weiner, who also writes a newsletter covering the latest findings in medicinal herb research. "The Jewish obsession on what you eat and how you eat it is almost neurotic," said Dr. Weiner, who, it should be noted, ate pasta with tomato sauce (he nixed the cheese) spiced up with extra raw onions and garlic during a recent luncheon interview. "Take the Jackie Mason bit about the Jew who tells the waiter, 'I don't want the baloney next to the salami; I don't want to sit too close to the kitchen but not near the door' and this and that," laughed Dr. Weiner, affec- ting a Mason accent. Dr. Weiner, who has written 15 books on medicinal herbs, nutrition, aging, Alzheimer's disease and other health topics, said this "Jewish health food legacy" also accounts for what he said appears to be a large number of Jews in the contemporary American health food industry. He noted that the late Robert Rodale, a Jew, pioneered the current inter- est in healthier foods. TwinLab, the parent corn- pany of Nature's Herbs — the firm Dr. Weiner repre- sents — is also owned by Jews (curiously, Nature's Herb's was started by Mor- mons, who also follow strict religious dietary guidelines). Dr. Weiner, who travels the nation appearing at health food and natural medicine trade shows, said his experience (statistical evidence is nonexistent) has led him to believe that Jews own "a very large percen- tage" of the country's health food stores. "One reason why I love these trade shows is they remind me of my father's an- tique store on (the Lower East Side's) Ludlow Street," he said. "It feels the same to me, except for the Birkenstocks." Dr. Weiner added that the American health food in- dustry has also started to sell a great many Middle Eastern foods, such as tabouleh, a salad made from bulgur wheat, and hummus, a paste made from chickpeas and sesame seeds. Dr. Weiner, who has col- lected plant samples in Fiji and elsewhere in the South Pacific and the Middle East for the National Cancer In- stitute's anti-tumor research effort, is also an envi- ronmental activist who be- lieves that concern for the planet is a natural extension of Jewish concerns for diet and animals. His latest project is to help save the endangered Pacific yew tree, the bark of which has yielded a potent anti- cancer drug. Loggers have long considered the yew to be a weed tree, and have destroyed a great many of them while clearing economi- cally valuable Douglas fir from Oregon and Washington state forests. Dr. Weiner argues that the yew should be spared so that its ultimate medicinal worth can be ascertained. "Ralph Waldo Emerson said a weed is a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered," Dr. Weiner said. "I say let's save the `weeds' until we know what they are good for. That, in a nutshell, is the argument for preserving endangered species." ❑ First Prize Winners In Baking Contest The following recipes won in a baking competition at a recent county fair.
