Joe,

 

It'll be ok. This too will pass.

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 Joe 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.

Nice one, Janet! Joe, I would love to know how you calculate that 15%

number, if you would be willing to elaborate. In my experience, most

people who claim to be X% raw are, at best, no more than half that

amount, once they learn how to do the calculations. For example,

people who claim to be eating 80% raw are actually eating 25-40% raw

in most cases.

[Raw Food] OT: promoting meat....was Re: Vores Oh Joe, There

you are using that f word again. And, it seems you are labeling

yourself a meat-eating promoter. You don't need me to do that. I

think you're doing a fine job. ;-)

 

You said, Joe: 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.

 

Janet says: This paragraph you wrote IS promoting meat. Please

define, " very occasionally " and " lots of raw. " And later you said that

eating a diet which consists of 15% meat is OK. Hmmmm. That is

actually a great deal of meat in the diet that will promote dis-ease.

(See " The China Study " ).

Also, if meat the size of a cow's hoof were presented for a meal, it

would take a HUGE amount of fruits and leafy greens to bring that

fleshy meal down to 15% of total calories. Since cooked flesh is

dense and the water is cooked out of it, the body has to pull water

from the tissues to move it through the digestive tract. Meat is

enervating and acidifying to the body.

It will slow the body down.

 

I don't think anyone would argue that eating less meat is better than

eating more. But, why promote eating LESS meat when NO meat is better?

 

My husband became a vegan after reading " The China Study " . I know of

five people who became vegans after seeing the movie, " Fast Food Nation " .

If we meet our meat and confront the suffering that precedes the

slaughter of these animals, then there is hope that people would pass

the red flesh aisle at the grocery store.

Hi Elchanan,

Can you tell us how the calculation should be done, please?

Roger
