Vores (great website references for both sides....and now coffee anyone?)

Hi Erica

I agree with everything you say. Again I am unfortunately being

labeled a meat-eating promoter!!

 

This all started from a stance of saying that if you wish to consume

meat very occasionally, it should be fine for you and don't worry

especially if you eat lots of raw! Thats all. Enjoy some life, don't

be so hard on yourself and others and all that sort of jazz.

 

Think of the difference it would make if all people could be talked

into eating meat only 15% of their diet. What a HUGE difference that

would make! Now think of getting all people to stop eating meat

completely, and how IMPOSSIBLE that practically is! The moderate

approach is better than the fanatical one in practice. If I let

someone know that yes, raw is wonderful for you, but they're worried

about missing " bad " foods, well I am happy to tell them they can still

treat themselves occasionally and they will still be making a HUGE

difference for their own health and ultimately the health of the planet.

 

Unfortunately some fanatics (not you) twist my words and then lose

their own mental capacity...I think it is an addictive way of

thinking. But hey, that's par for the course of humanity!

 

You know, coffee is WAAAAAAAAAAAY worse for your health than meat, and

I am sure many raw-ers enjoy coffee occasionally. Let's talk about

that actually...how many raw-ers don't eat meat for health but drink

coffee? That's doing much more damage than meat eating!

 

Cheers

Actually Joe, I think that is a good idea. After I stopped

eating meat, around 3 - 6 months I decided or had a taste

for pork pie with some salad. Oh man! did I suffer! LOL

 

It's like when I gave up smoking, after a week I gave in and

had a single cigarette, OMG! It really was a good 'body'

reminder of how awful it is and I found the same with the

pork pie.

 

But as regards the whole world giving up meat, I don't see

that kind of epiphany happening (unless 2012 of course)

 

neal.
