Hi VEG RAW friends, I'm going to need to take a leave of absence from this group, I'm sorry to say, perhaps I can rejoin in the summer when I'm off work. I've enjoyed interacting with and learning from all of you immensely but the number and length of the postings make belonging to this group too time consuming for me right now. When I joined my life was already packed beyond the max. As you know, this is my first and only online group. It's such a fun way to communicate! I'm glad so many of you are fellow M2Mers so I'll "see" you in the pages of the M2M. I hope the rest of you will consider joining M2M because if you don't, I'll really miss you! I'm nearly finished with the Kirt's copy of the Weston Price book. I highly recommend that anyone interested in nutrition read it. I've posted briefly about it previously and want to say now that I'm even more impressed. He was discussing soil depletion and erosion, and deforestation and damage caused by cattle ranching over 50 years ago! But his research on healthy native diets is eye opening stuff. Much appreciation to the guys who make veg-raw possible! Thank you! Smiles, Sandy
