Hi Peter,

I know at least one case of a woman who was app. 42 years old when she
switched to raw nutrition. She was a vegan then. After several years she

discovered instinctive nutrition. She stayed in Montrame for learning
instincto. There she was offered (of course) RAF.
The raw mackerel smelled incredibly good to her. So she ate it and
really it gave her the most pleasurable experience with fish she ever had.

I think its never too late. To break your conditioning I recommend
eating a tiny amount of RAF (fish/eggs/meat) - just some grams. This
will give your instinct the chance to know, that it is really available now.
The wait a week and smell RAF.
I heard of this trick from other instinctos with vegan history.

To me it sounds good. Given your long vegan history I guess that you
really are in a very very good state (except for animal protein balance
perhaps.)

Indeed I would even claim that being able to bear uncertainty is a
good sign for mental health while a strong need for certainty shows
that this person hasn't reached adult age (mentally spoken.) Children
sure need certainty. Adults shouldn't.
But I catch myself at searching for certainty also - at least for some
aspects of my life. :-)

Hm. You can't deny that big part of your genes that came from living in
the warm climates.
On the other hand it is a contradiction to live in cold climates and eat

tropical fruits since this never happened in ancient times.
Dunno what to make of this. I will follow my instincts and currently in-

deed they tell me that they prefer tropical fruits and don't like apples

at all. Since I'm not forcing something I will let this flow freely. I
had phases when apples were wonderful and durian not of interest. So I
think my instinct handles it in a way that is best for me.

Best instinctive wishes,

Stefan
