My problem with Wes' proclamations has nothing to with concerns over his
own personal diet. He should feel free to eat whatever he likes, and
defend it in the most distorted ways he might enjoy.

What I don't care for is insisting that his diet - or anyones else's
favorite diet - is THE right diet for any other person. His insistence
that raw vegan foods are the superior food choices for everyone else, or
even anyone else, is uninformed, and just silly.

He's young, but that does not mean he should be excused from
consideration of facts which do not fit with his current ideology. Many
young people that I know, three-, six-, twelve-, and sixteen-year-olds,
are intelligent, wide-reaching thinkers, and make good use of others'
experience to help draw conclusions about life.

Young Wes is not interested in hearing any information that does not
support his latest "religion."  He just wants everyone else to eat like
him, I guess so he can feel sure that he's making the right decision
about what he's eating these days.

Love, Liza
