Good evening,

I stopped watching regular network news a few weeks before 9/11/2001 - about the

same time I went raw and divorced my car. I started to take a look at the

online clips of this 20/20 show but quickly realized that it was about drama

rather than news or information. The real story here is, I think, about

addiction to drama rather than food. The comments about the show did lead me to

some interesting links from raw foodists that I hadn't known about.

 

I now get my news from the internet where I can choose what to look at and how

to understand and convey it. When it's something important (like what enters my

body) I can get a confirming opinion in the non-virtual world from a REAL expert

- one with the experience of having done it.

 

This week I had the marvelous experience of fellowship with a group of bicycling

missionaries who volunteered in our local community bike shop. The group

doesn't have a name - they adhere with a joyful passion to the lessons of the

bible and that is their trademark, to live as Christ-like Christians. We spent

some hours together in fellowship while we worked and I came to admire the

simple beauty of the way they live, travel and worship through service, yet

tension sometimes arose with practices that differ between us. They often eat

processed foods that are easy to store and carry, I sometimes wear immodest

clothes. This didn't stop the joyful exchange of spirits and inspiration

between us because we were gracious toward each other.

 

I gained an insight this week that's been helpful to me and so I share it with

you. The scientific method, although precise, isn't complete. It cannot prove

a negative hypothesis. Many half-baked non-scientists take unfair (and mostly

unintentional) advantage of this fact to waste your time when they make an

accusation. It isn't possible to disprove an accusation, no matter how much

time you waste trying. Don't let yourself be sucked into this trap. Give your

attention to people who share discoveries of how to make lives better for the

most people, for the longest time starting with those most close.

 

Sorry to go on like this without mentioning food, but it's late and sleep is

evading me - well you know how it goes ;-)

I think your response carries a lot of wisdom.

 

" It isn't possible to disprove an accusation, no matter how much time you waste

people who share discoveries of how to make lives better for the most people,

I was at a recent raw food lecture and was met with great surprise and mild

disapproval about my choice to still cook for my family. I feel strongly that

eachindividual has to find their own way and that by our own example are we the

best teachers.

 

My favorite saying is that each of us in just one example of one possibility.

The choice to live in the raw life style is our own choice. How we live is the

proof of that possibility. What a wonderful proof that cannot be denied.
