Dear Lynton ORF,

I'd be curious to know your source of info on the above absorption of fats.
I've never heard that before and it does raise the question of quality and
rawness IMO. I once had a vision of a swimming pool filled with
cold-pressed olive oil and I run out on the diving board and take a big
jump and swim in it! Is that an instincto message coming through?

Kind Regards,

I included the above from the original so that the following would be in

If you want to use that argument for vegetarism that's your deal.
My point is that a good quantity of quality green leaves is an important
part of a healthy diet, regardless of what other food types are eaten.
