I am the listowner of both the raw-food and the paleofood lists. I
have to confess that I have been spending most of my time with
paleofood. It has been very active and there is a lot of good
information found there. I would recommend checking it out. Raw-food
is a general raw food list. Both vegetarian and animal raw food can be
discussed here. Paleofood is a hunter/gather list with very little
vegetarian discussion. There are many ex-vegetarians who found that
their diet failed them. Also many of the subscribers eat their animal
food cooked and some of them feel are not comfortable with discussions
of eating raw animal foods. They think that all of the germs, bacteria
and parasites out there that are going to do them harm. So be easy on
them. I would also hope that there is still something to be discussed
here. Am I the only 100% raw person on this list? My diet has changed
over the last thirteen years but with the exception of a two year
cooked vegan period in the early 90's I have been almost 100 % raw. I
started out as a raw food vegan and started including RAF in 1996.
