Raw Foodism

[Guest guest]

Great to hear from you Mark and appreciate you passion for life as

well. Two weeks ago I was lost in the middle of Yellowstone park

after hitting a snow drift obscuring the path at 10,000 feet. I am

not a weight lifter or anything but was able to walk for 30 hours

living off ice and half a granola bar while traversing steep peaks in

icy conditions without sleep. [my father was so obeise at my age that

he couldn't walk]. The other hiker [age 23]who was with me to search

for someone else lost was in decent shape but took 4 days to recover.

The first thing I bought when back at Canyon was a book on wild

ediable plants btw.

I understand that we can make personal changes to increase lifespan

and quality of life. I live within my comfort level which includes

daily walking, etc. Still,I am not so sure I want to live forever in

this current incarnation though am shooting for 104 if I can take

care of myself. Purhaps I am a bit passive or less committed than you

but I am enjoying my life.

Btw, what I don't like about honey is that many keepers have no

compunction about replacing the honey with white sugar in the hives

which I think is a disservice to the bees besides tampering with the

natural way. I think it all comes down to personal choices and I am

at peace with my own though always open to growth and change. Peace

bro, David*

although is not an animal product perse, it is gathered by animals. I

do also eat honey, which I suppose puts me in a non vegan category, I

suppose we are going to have to agree to disagree on some issues

however. I look at life differently than you perhaps or than almost

all people. Most people say as you do that at 52 I am healthy.
