Well, we certainly have the RAW material here for study.  It fascinates
me, too.

Ward bravely broached this topic in the third part of his Health & Beyond
interviews, Volume 4, No. 9
(http://chetday.com/catalog.html).  And Kirt touches upon it, too, in his
manuscript, Raw Extremes.

As I wrote in a private post to Kirt last week, I was trying to think of
the most emotionally healthy and well-adjusted people I know (few though
they be), and then, I thought of all the really self-disciplined, 100%
party line (of whatever ilk) food purists I know (there's a few more of
them).  None of these two sets intersect!  Of course, I fall into neither
category, though I aspire towards the former, and usually end up in the
latter...  :-D

It would be great to see more along these lines.
