Vicki, when posting please identify the people whose messages you are quoting. >>"Extreme" means by definition differing from the majority. All raw diets are >>extreme, especially the 100% raw ones, the vegan ones, and the ones including >>raw meat. With 95%+ raw, I consider myself as extreme, although not at the >very far end. Vicki: >Consider the fact that 99.999% of all living organisms on this planet are 100% raw eaters -- are they all extreme too? It is true that a 100% raw diet is not extreme when comparing to the diet of other living organisms on the planet, but seen in the light that humankind has evolved on a semi-cooked, omnivorous diet, then a 100 % raw, vegan diet does seem quite extreme. >>> I don't agree with that. I think that on the contrary you can do fine >>> with RAF for a while, but it's gonna catch up with you sonner or later. >>I have read that "argument" many times, and I won't believe it until someone >>gives me a convincing proof (you didn't supply any proof here). Vicki: >Zephyr. Zephyr getting sick from eating raw, mongoose liver is a poor argument for not eating RAF. It would like be staying away from greens because some herbs are poisonous.
