Ella, i couldn't agree with you more!

the deal is that this list is specifically for people who are trying to
follow a NeanderThin way of eating.  If one doesn't want to, fine, then
don't, but they needed try to convince the rest of us that it's wrong.

ask away, just don't feel you need to point out to everyone the ways you
think this way of eating is bad, or harmful, or whatever.

and i understand what Kent meant about Linda McCartney (was this the post
that started all this?). i didn't take it that he meant any disrespect
towards her as a person, but that it is very ironic that Paul McCartney is
now asking that people become vegetarian  to honor Linda's memory. it's like
honoring the memory of someone who dies from a gunshot wound by shooting
yourself in the foot.

and John, go if you feel you must, but you know we'll miss you alot, would
you consider coming back if we can give you an 'all clear' when this fuss is
over?

JoAnn.
