I guess this is as close as I'll get to a response to my Raw Law post
before you duck out so..may I say: perhaps those recent works above are
examples of an out of tune choir preaching. ;)

Giving them a plug in response to Tom's post regarding dogma is quite a
masterful non-sequiter, but such is life...

Yeah, NFL will soon be a household word, eh? I suspect we all hear what we
want to, you know? Today, I heard Mr. Weissbach level quite similar charges
to those presented here--they (NFL) are more interested in marketing than
accuracy; that many of their "arguments" are rude, condescending, and
pretenscious; that they absurdly consider cooked food as the cause of all
of humanity's problems, etc etc etc etc. I remain uncertain whether NFL
needs a wake-up call even more so than the rest of the world. And hearing
them use your "30 years raw" (I assume it is you they are refering to--they
never detail anything--are you a "salesman"?) as their support for their
high-fruit diet borders on simple fraud--especially as you are aware of the
frequent problems encountered on the diet they prostelytise, consumed great
anounts of RAF for many years, consider that you used to be addicted to
avos (NFL bragged about 8 or 9 avos/day), etc.

IMHO, NFL has more or less "Oprah-ised" the "raw foods message"--thus
assuring that it appears as a fad/gimmick instead of anything less than the
lunatic fringe. Perhaps they will make a buck at it. But if they say one
more time about how it is their _instinct_ which tells them to eat sweet
fruit to the exclusion of "anything with eyes", I may be inspired to buy
them a Red Rider BB Gun for April Fool's Day. ;)
