Elchanan,

 

You have some good points. Thanks for sharing.

That is just a perception. I don't know as it is true, but I believe I

can see why someone might have that perception.

 

People who change their diet may already be active physically and

mentally. They may get plenty of fresh air, etc. The only thing many

are changing is the diet, so that may be why so many raw foodists

focus attention on the food/diet. The exercising, etc. can continue

without change. The focus of attention shifts for many to the raw food

and it's community. Then again, perhaps they have very balanced lives

outside the raw food community. Change can be difficult for many, so

the added support of a raw food community can help them on that path

of change and health. I know many raw foodists who are physically

active, etc., I just happen to know them through the raw community.

 

As for me, I have continued being active in other areas of my life

while my diet has changed.
