A question to Porcelain Doll about mind control

Sleep deprivation & poor food are often cited as part of the things used at first to get people into a susceptible state to brainwash them. I can't see that happened a lot in the Family later on, tho there were 14-hour meetings at TSC and very poor, starchy food.

In your research, did you find that poor diets stupefy the mind? Like old food, lots of starches, etc. and overall poor diet. Can you see that having an effect, together with sleep deprivation, togehter with yelling leaders, to bring about a sort of zombie state?

Or Jesse Holdon? Or Goth? Any thoughts?
