Health is a continuum and practicing 50%, 75%, and even 99% raw will

not produce the same results as 100%, especially if there is excess

fat and animal protein involved in that other percentage.

 

Most chocolate has casein in it, a substance from milk made to use

wood glue. It's all about choices. And, if we knowingly make choices

that are not optimal, that is certainly a right we all have.

I am going to say this one last time Janet.

 

I DIDN'T ADVOCATE IT.

 

Advocating something means saying you SHOULD eat something.

Advocating something means RECOMMENDING you eat something.

 

I didn't do that, ever. If you would read my posts, instead of

sensationalizing your own position, and inventing one for me, you

would understand that my position is IF YOU DO partake of a " bad " food

for whatever reason - i.e., social, emotional, a craving...you know,

all the things that REAL people go through daily and HAVE a difficult

time with - then the raw eating you're doing the rest of the time is

still a great accomplishment and will still give you many if not all

the health benefits of 100% raw. And practically, if my mate bought

me chocolates for my birthday, I am going to accept the love she gave

me and let her see me enjoy them! A few darned chocolates once a year

isn't going to hurt you...there's no need to live in fear of that.

 

 

Look, this place is not for " experts " to debate " gurus " about exact

percentages of this or that or whatever. That is SO pointless, and

extremely boring and incredibly annoying. Let's instead talk to the

new people and give them guidelines and recommendations and support

for going raw, realizing that we all went through a transition at some

point and were NOT 100% raw right away. That is, of course, if the

new people aren't too quickly spirited away by other economic forces.

 

So, let us try, from now on, to see the VAST similarities in our

posts, rather than focus on the MINUTE differences and make such a

negative deal out of them.

 

Good Day Joe

Joe, This kind of thinking says it's ok to let your kid eat birthday

cake and cupcakes at every birthday party. I struggle with that often

with my soon to be 4yo, and so do many health conscious parents.

Eating less of anything that isn't optimal is always beneficial. So,

why advocate eating anything that isn't optimal, especially when it

involves death?
