Hi Robert:

Actually, that was my main point. Paleo already puts you aside from many 
others; all-raw leads you into oblivion. I'm saying this lato sensu [in 
broad terms] of course. By the way, ancient Romans had this saying: Vae 
soli, which means "Woe to him that is alone".

It's also well worth mentioning that in primitives or small communities, 
individuals hardly have their own choices as far as food and diet are 
concerned. As a rule, they will all eat uniformly. If they deviate, they 
can suffer from discrimination, much harder than in our present society. 

At least in our society, you can eat as you please. There may be some 
discrimination against you if you choose a quite different path, but it's 
often veiled and you can always find ways to mask your different ways. 
After all, we must be thankful for the allowances our society confers on 
us.  

Regards,

José Carlos
