This message was sent to the list server but did not go out for some reason so I am forwarding it. From: Karsten Lieberkind <[log in to unmask]> >>Karsten, Welcome to the list, but please try to express your opinions a >>little more respectfully. >Thanks Peter, and you are right, I was probably carried away by my >feelings, being unnecessary undiplomatic, but I must admit that I have >very little respect for this kind of ad and the thinking behind it. There >was, IMO, a definite fundamentalistic tone in it implicitly denying any >free thinking and inquiry. Apart from this I have nothing more to say >about it, and I see no reason to continue this thread any further, but I >am sorry if I hurt someone's feelings. >> Denmark being a nation of indulgence, do you find it >>difficult to maintain a raw food diet among all the temptations? >Nations are not indulgent, but people are, IMO, and they are so whether >they live in India, U.S.A. or Denmark. One of the reasons for this could >be that they set up a standard of living, which they try to follow, but it >does not comply with their mental disposition, and that leads to internal >or external conflict. Such a conflict is also reflected in the word >temptations. We create the concept temptation, because we are basically in >conflict with ourselves. >I am a vegetarian because I am not tempted by eating meat, in fact I find >it natural to eat vegetables. There is no conflict. A still higher >percentage of what I am eating is raw, but it is not entirely raw, because >I am still not there. If I get there I don't know, and it does not >interest me, but I am interested in the subject and it is possible that >this inquiry will have a gradual influence on me. >> Have you spent any time at K. Nolfi's raw food retreat "Humlegaarden" in >>Humlebaek? >I am well aware of this famous place, not far away from me, but I have not >stayed there so far. When I feel the need I will. >Best too >Karsten
