Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 That's a good link too. I think that it's good to look at an idea from all perspectives. Obviously, Tom Billings has some negative ideas about raw, but there's one thing that he said on that particular page that I really liked - the goal of the raw food diet is not necessarily to be 100% raw, the goal is good health FOR YOURSELF. It's amazing how much the same we all are, but yet how different. Some people find themselves easily addicted to all sorts of things, others engage in the same activities and never get addicted. One person responds to an antibiotic well, another person find that they must use a different kind. Some find it easy to follow a vegan diet. Others, like myself, incorporate things like cheese or eggs. I think that beginning with a goal of 75% - 100% is a great idea. This allows for time to adjust to the demands of the diet. For myself, those demands are few, because I am as much interested in whole food as I am raw food. I don't bother with recipes. I don't try to mimic other foods. I just eat foods as they are in their natural state. After a while, your palate is cleansed as well as your body. I prefer food this way, but there are others that find it difficult. My main point is, stick with it, read as much as you can both pro and con, discover what works for you, but most importantly, stick with it.
