does durianrider really have any idea?
Over the last few months I have witnessed durianrider attempt to ridicule, Brian Clement, Gabriel Cousins, Robert Young, David Wolfe, Edward Howell to name but a few. These people alone have around 150 years of experience and research in food nutrition. He sometimes makes the most outrageous remarks and fails to deliver any supporting data time and time again. When challenged, he usually responds with some flippant remark or more often fails to respond at all. My favourite Durianrider quotes are the recent ones;
'i do a bit of shopping for my grandma. i brought around some cert organic gala apples. she told me they are too hard on her body and she only eats golden delicious. grandma told me this whilst eating a msg soaked bbq chip..lol!
i always have a giggle when crew diss fruit and they are eating cancer fodder.
i used to get frustrated about it, but ive learnt that some crew are genetically damaged mentally and cant uptake basic human physiology info. being raw has really taught me what acceptance and tolerance really is
so im gonna add acceptance and tolerance to the 811 lifestyle as key factors to thriving in this cooked world'.
And the classic reply when asked to justify why humans need to train to run 26 miles;
'hey, you never know when a tsunami is coming! better to be in shape than not be in shape dont you reckon?'
What's your favourite Durianrider quote?
So if you are new to Raw food please beware Durianrider has only one message- 811 is the only dietary option. Most experienced Raw foodists disagree with this and unlike Durianrider are prepared to back their statements up.

I've noticed the 811 bent in his comments! Thanks for pointing it out. I almost dont want to comment on his threads because he comes back so harshly, not too accepting of others in my mind! to each their own though!

I don't think there is anything wrong with having passion and durianrider has tons of it. I might not be 811 but i respect it and if you notice most 811'ers are pretty hardcore...i respect it...even though sometimes i get sick of reading comments about it.
Like durianrider himself has said "being raw has really taught me what acceptance and tolerance really is", his words are sometimes spicy but they come from a good place
Telling new raw fooders to be aware of him is not ok. your way of thinking (and mine for that matter) is not the only way right way. Everyone has to find there own path. I understand where your coming from but i think think your method is not nice, friendly or welcoming for newcomers to see.
Aren't we aiming for inclusion for all? Don't spread negative vibes!

We are, hence why his comments make me shy away from posting on threads, hes a little too pushy with his ideas and comes back at you hard with his, othe 811ers I've seen posting don't seem to be as pushy though I agree they are very hardcore.

Sheryl, My way of thinking is trying to get as much information as possible so that I can weigh up facts, opinions, data etc and use this information constructively to better my diet and share my experience with others. Are you saying this is not right?

this thread reads as a personal attack and there is nothing constructive about that.
You ever heard the saying "kill em with kindness"? you will get better results with that than how your going about it this now.
you should consider deleting this thread, you are stirring up drama (regardless of its your intention or not). You took the oath...keep the oath!

Sheryl ROCKS! Rockin' it raw not mincing words and keeping our tiny community present in love and respect and peace. If someone posts and angered thread directed at another human (misguided or not), why don't we all agree to not give that energy? Put energy inwards and not lashing out? Then that thread will just pass away in on hour and never brought to vibrant life. The Creator put us here faults and all to discover what we really are, and I believe that we are eternal perfect love. Be gracious when another is displaying faults, we all have em to work out.
GI2MR was so sweet and neat when it was a baby. Let it retain it's youth and focus and high vibrations. I agree that making fun of someone, DR or GC in not the path to love.
Peace.

Sheryl, the irony is that durianrider is a darn good example of intolerance in action!

What about this analogy TF and Chris...the same way one chooses to partake in Raw Vegan Gourmet dishes or not, why then not choose to decline participation in DR's discussions if it upsets you at all? Ignore it. Go on to another that you feel deserves your precious time, yah?

I can only speak for myself here. I'm not upset. I'm enjoying my smoothie and participating in the group.
and....according to your recommendation, mish....why don't you decline to participate in this one? you could ignore this discussion....no? are you upset?
(for clarity, I'm not saying this in anger mish. I'm just illustrating how your idea works both ways....no harm intended.....just making a point)
