They don't have to be justified, but Burger and co claim that Orkos is
a non-profit organization. The prices at Orkos are an issue because
they talked about it in the same article as the one dealing with'pedophilia
arrest. And people are not forced to buy but maybe some WOULD LIKE to,
and are not financially at ease enough. Worse, Burger and co say all the
time that instincto doesn't work if food is denatured, i.e. you have to
buy Orkos, otherwise your instinct will be misled.

Personally, my leftist-oriented mind tells me that a diet not affordable by
-say- 80% of the French population is not acceptable. I would rather find
a compromise than pay 3 times the price of an ordinary (cooked) meal.

Want it or not, 100% raw IS extreme AMONG HUMANS. Remember what you would
have thought about someone eating 100% raw 30 years ago? I think that
an "ordinary" person is much less likely to experiment with raw food than
someone who is in the fringe. And I repeat that extreme diets attract
extreme people, but NOT ONLY extreme people.

I was just taking an extreme example. Working at Orkos is not slavery,
but the *analogy* is that people *need* to eat Orkos food, and that's
a kinda "psychological force".

Maybe I will try it. I have to ask them to send me a copy first.
And to post it, it would be necessary to translate, type, scan it and
post it on my WWW page (for instance). A lot of work...

OK, I won't suffer any deficiencies, but I was wondering about the
insulin response of a large, fruit-only meal.

Maybe. I don't believe so, after many discussions with people involved
in leftist political parties, but I stop the discussion there (off-topic)
