Calculating What % Raw (WAS: OT: promoting meat....was Vores)

[Guest guest]

So Elchanan you commented about me writing too quickly...well, here is

what I originally wrote...I don't feel like rewriting it to make it

sound nicer though...sorry.

 

Cheers

Oh for God's sake....I didn't calculate anything and you people are

AGAIN taking my words out of context. Grow up for crying-out-loud and

learn to read! Both of you!

 

DUH!

 

Elchanan, this place used be a hell of a lot more fun and democratic

before you arrived, do you know that? If I say you can be 85% raw and

experience wonderful benefits from that...what the hell isn't true

about that? IT IS TRUE!

You know a lot of stuff and that is great, but you obviously come on

here to draw people away from it and talk them into going to YOUR site

where they have to PAY YOU. That's what it seems to me.

 

I'm gonna say it one last time just to watch you freak out again. If

you switch to eating predominantly raw, you CAN eat meat once in a

while if you FEEL like it and still experience wonderful health

benefits. That's a darned fact if I've ever heard one. And that is

great to hear for the beginner!!!

 

 

Oh and if some of you are going to laugh at me for freaking out

myself...YES I did just freak out! Thank you very much! And yes,

maybe I did alienate myself, and yes, I don't eat 100% raw, and yes,

maybe I am young and a little naive. But at least strong enough to

admit it. And those traits don't diminish with age...you simply

become less aware of them.
