Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 What I was referring to, is my desire for others to widen their view of what is acceptable, such as a vegan or raw diet, or a slender body, etc. When people open their minds and accept other's diets as " acceptable " then relationships should be much smoother. I have had the experience of some people devoting negative energy (anger, judgement, being condescending and sarcastic) towards me as they do not accept my diet or my body size/shape. My body has no direct affect on them when they are thousands of miles away and I may not see them for years! There are obviously some deep issues for some people. No, anger, etc. is not acceptable behavior when directed at others. Even internalizing it is not good, but if people choose that for themselves, that's their choice. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have found that foods can definitely have an affect on our potential for irritability. It is then a person's choice to become angry and externalize it. I may be more sensitive than most, but have actually felt imbalances within my body which cause me to feel irritable. I typically would not take this out on others, but still felt irritable. I have made choices in my diet to help feel more balanced. I also realize, when I look at those who may wish to attack my lifestyle, they are on, not only a standard American diet, but also alcohol and caffeine, as well as many medications, so have a toxic body. If what I believe about irritability is true, then It's no wonder that these people get so angry. Still, it is not acceptable to take it out on others. The problem is, they don't seem to recognize this. Make sense? Jeff >Are you saying that when people are irritable and cranky, that it is >acceptable behavior?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yes, it makes a lot of sense. Diet has a lot to do with influencing moods. Let's just rise above the negative and be a positive example in health of body and mind.
