Okey Dokey, if Stefan is only going to ask about CAPS and let the rest of
the idiocy slide...

"Dr." Bernarr:

In that case the mother would not be avoiding animal foods (on the grounds
of an arbitrary intellectual "concept"), thus her breastmilk would be more
nutritious. Neither would the youngster be avoiding animal foods.

Have you some references (or anything else) that supports the idea that wild
animals eat only when they are "hungry" and/or only when they are salivating
for food. In the wild, I suspect, there is more of a problem with supply
than demand, so your simplistic and naive "as you would in the wild" premise
is lacking in any sort of rigor. When have you lived in the wild? What do
you know about wild living creatures? Sounds like rehashed Shelton to my
ears.

Again, there is little support from wild animal studies to support this
idea. Further, if one of the "symptoms" is starvation (as it appears was the
case with the youngster you gave reports about) then not eating is not going
to help, is it?

> Enzymes do not secrete when you are symptomatic.

Tell that to primates who eat specific foods when they are symptomatic.
Besides, raw foods have their enzymes intact so what difference would it
make? ;)

This behavior is not found in the wild to my knowledge.

Fruits and veggies (only) probably don't exist in the wild (or in the
supermarket) that contain "all the essential nutrients". Even chimps do not
apparently thrive without animal foods as they go out of their way to
procure them.

So?

Obviously you have never seen wild animals pigging out on an abundant wild
food,  whether they are "symptomatic" or not. Further, if one of their
"symptoms" is starvation (as it appears was the case with the youngster you
gave reports about) then chewing a food that doesn't meet their nutritional
needs (in this case fruits and veggies--which are often unmasticable for an
infant) 40 times is not going to make any difference. Are you saying the kid
died of a digestive disorder because s/he didn't chew the food long enough?
How many children have you raised?

When I first saw your fowards on the raw vegan baby I thought maybe you were
actually trying to spread some useful info, but I see now that it was just
another in a long series of ploys to spread your "gospel".

IMO, you are not asymptomatic (neurotic ideations streaming forth
repeatedly) and if you followed your own advice may well starve to death.

Cheers,
Kirt
