IRENE:  I have to agree with Liza on this.  Yes, everyone requires
oxygen.  It's also true that everyone requires food (apologies to
"breatarians").  No one is going to argue with either of those points.
It's the *types* of food that people are debating about. Wes's problem
was not only did he insist that a raw vegan diet was right for everyone,
but that those who disagreed with him proved his genius (see his adios
note).  As someone who is shifting from a raw vegan diet because of the
reasons so many others tried to explain to Wes (i.e., it's just not
*working*) I appreciated his sincerity, but not his methods,
conclusions, or attitudes.
