Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi - this is a very interesting topic.... I agree with Janet that when death is involved, it is more than just a " guilty pleasure " on our end of the transaction, and should be considered more than such. That's like saying any other offensive crime is okay once in awhile as long as it's not the " rule " . Also, I agree that it is important to really enforce healthy foods for children. I know raw parents who don't want to " force " their way of eating on their kids, and continue feeding them deadly stuff. I don't get it, plain and simple. It's worse when parents KNOW it causes MS, Cancer and worse, you know? One such parent is a colonic hydrotherapist, too, and let her 7 year old order deep-fried crap at a restaurant. That child was soooo ill from it, and so I ended up spending my evening watching him while she ran out for meds, all freaked out. I saw it as total irresponsibility. And stupidity. 7 year olds don't know enough. That is what parents are for..... Hi Janet, This needs to stop. I will just finish by saying that you > > CAN incorporate raw eating LESS THAN 100% and STILL reap the benefits > > of it. Joe, you are 100% right about this. The Hallelujah Diet website is all the proof anyone needs. They enforce about a 80%/20% or %90/%10 raw vegan/cooked vegan diet, with lots of live juices. They have one of the BEST testimonial sections online for this diet - it even has a Search engine. It just goes to show that there is more than one successful avenue for living foods. Even the Gerson Institute uses select cooked vegan meals and 100% live juices, a gallon a day per client, as well as a few other modalities, and has tremendous success with extremely rare and intense cancers as well as other diseases. And I'm sure many > > raw-ers still drink coffee, which is way worse for your health than meat. I think eating animals kills more people and obviously more animals, per year. But you are right that coffee is atrocious. I agree with you Joe that it's important not to beat yourself up at all, and that one bagel or serving of mashed potatoes once a month, or whatever your favorite cooked luxury is, is fine to enjoy if that is what floats your boat. Obviously, I would hope those luxuries were vegan items, but all in all, I agree with your logic. > " Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, > lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
