I'm started on converting 2 more

[Guest guest]

It's remarkable how open-minded people's

reactions are to my telling them of my raw-food diet, now

in its 5th month. (For the prior year I went from

50% to 90% raw.) People can tell I'm healthy from one

glance, and even more so when they see my energetic

stride and all-round agility. Fifty pounds ago I was

less limber.<br><br>They all agree that it's a

superior diet and that I must be very healthy. Then in a

low key I brag about my recent physical: cholesterol

at 130 with a high good/bad ratio, and all hormones

at youthful levels(I'm 55, looking 45 or

less).<br><br>A neighbor and a close professional colleague are

now both beginning the transition to all-raw. I've

introduced them to my favorite protein foods, sashimi and

Sprout-Pate by SproutTime of Sun Valley CA

(sprouttime).<br><br>All of you keep up the living-food Life Style,

because all others are Dying-Styles. My body is so

physically happy that I shudder with pleasure every time I

eat. Each bite is a delicious adventure of maximum

enjoyment, with so much slow sensuous chewing that by the

time I swallow, it has become food-flavored saliva.

<br><br>I frankly feel a pitying superiority towards all

those FUDE eaters out there, especially when seeing

them while I hike out to get my raw food, the true

real-stuff of health, and ironically enough, of temperance,

that good old-fashioned Christian virtue given a bad

name by Prohibition. <br><br>Moralists should advocate

a raw-food diet, if only because it causes one to

end the inherent gluttony and self-abuse of

FUDE-eating. Instinctive eating is inherently non-greedy and

anti-gluttonous. Alchohol becomes very uninteresting, because its

main attraction is that it makes FUDE eaters

temporarily feel as good as I do all the time now, so who

needs it's awful taste and stomach-churning effects?

<br><br>So keep it up. It can't be hard if I did it.

Compulsions can't work when you feel good all the time. I

picture all these happy cells inside me, whistling and

singing, and I have to laugh. I feel such physical joy and

gratitude when I eat that I wish I could start a

nature-religion.
