Durianrider/Harley Johnstone’s website is heavily censored; in reaction to this, an uncensored website has been setup where people can freely discuss his extreme diet and questionable behavior: 30 Bananas a Day … Sucks. Durianrider’s reaction to this new site has been to setup a fake Twitter account that pretends to be for the 30BAD Sucks website, and he uses it to issue vicious, hateful, dishonest tweets. (Remark: Way to go, Durianrider – a great example of vegan compassion in action!) Because it is uncensored, Durianrider occasionally posts on 30BAD Sucks; check this post (plus comments) for irrational and unhinged rants by Durianrider. Finally, here is Durianrider advocating forced, mass sterilization of people.

Reports that Durianrider (Harley Johnstone) charges (Australian) $3000 for 30 days of coaching, and his girlfriend “Freelee” charges $650 for mentoring (use your browser search function; search for ‘$3000’ and ‘$650’ on the linked-to page). Typical of self-proclaimed raw gurus, Durianrider and Freelee have little or no credentials/training in nutrition. Note that these reports come from only 1 source at this time; additional confirmation (or contradiction) is welcome. Update April 2012: an additional report quotes a figure of $1750 for 30 days; the amount charged is in question.

Allegations of misrepresentation by Durianrider. The allegations are well-documented via an email exchange with Durianrider.

A few years on 80-10-10 have made Durianrider (Harley Johnstone) emaciated. Harley has said that people who follow his diet often look like meth addicts, so if he stays on the diet, is this his future?
