John, >I don't know if it's customary to introduce oneself on this list or not, >but on most of the other discussion lists I've involved myself with, I've >never been flamed for doing so. You don't need take so many precautions: self-introductions are always very appreciated! At least, bios are among my favorite posts (others bios are available in the list archives, http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/raw-food.html, as well as on jr's WWW page http://www.rawtimes.com/). >I'm not an "ALL RAW FOODER" but believe a predominance of uncooked food >in ones diet sure makes a tremendous amount of physiological and >nutritional sense. It is my opinion that most people on this list are "predominantly raw fooders", I can't be absolutely certain, since only 10-20% write regularly. >How many people frequent this list? 109.
