You are right about not having to have food to socialize - but there are
some situations where the greater, wiser, thing to do is to sit down
with the people and eat for the most part, with them, like they are
eating. You will find that it is smarter to take this perspective
sometimes, both for your own good health and peace of mind, and also if
your goal is to "win friends and influence people", particularly if you
want to influence them in the area of their diet.

And anyway, it's always better to have a flexible attitude towards your
diet, rather than a rigid unbending one (like "ALWAYS RAW NO MATTER
WHAT" or any other rigid dogma).

Love, Liza
