>>Karsten, Welcome to the list, but please try to express your opinions a
>>little more respectfully.

>Thanks Peter, and you are right, I was probably carried away by my

>was, IMO, a definite fundamentalistic tone in it implicitly denying any

>> Denmark being a nation of indulgence, do you find it
>>difficult to maintain a raw food diet among all the temptations?

>Nations are not indulgent, but people are, IMO, and they are so whether
>they live in India, U.S.A. or Denmark. One of the reasons for this could
>be that they set up a standard of living, which they try to follow, but it
>does not comply with their mental disposition, and that leads to internal
>or external conflict. Such a conflict is also reflected in the word
>temptations. We create the concept temptation, because we are basically in
>conflict with ourselves.

>I am a vegetarian because I am not tempted by eating meat, in fact I find
>it natural to eat vegetables. There is no conflict. A still higher
>percentage of what I am eating is raw, but it is not entirely raw, because
>I am still not there. If I get there I don't know, and it does not
>interest me, but I am interested in the subject and it is possible that
>this inquiry will have a gradual influence on me.

>> Have you spent any time at K. Nolfi's raw food retreat "Humlegaarden" in
>>Humlebaek?

>I am well aware of this famous place, not far away from me, but I have not
>stayed there so far. When I feel the need I will.

>Best too
