i agree, she looks absolutely vibrant and has a completely different approach than most raw foods people.

apparently Doug Graham east cream cheese and bagels. I have heard this on a few forums. I wonder if it is true, anyone know?

I've heard about the bagel thing too (from someone who isn't prone to slander and has spent a lot of time among different gurus). I bet he only eats the bagel, not the cream cheese, since that would be an overt fat and one combined with carbs, at that!

Hey it's like you wonder if they do the philosophy on themselves, or if its too hard

Hmm not sure who exactly. People say david wolfe i think. What cooked food does he eat? Somebody I saw thinks they saw him in a burger king. haha that makes me laugh so much. I don't know. We need the raw papparazi stalking these people to get the snaps of them chomping into that pizza or burger.

Others are open about it. Sarma, not that I'd call her a guru, openly admits she indulges in some cooked food. Its not like its junk cooked though, she makes conscious decisions. I've heard the boutenkos aren't by durianrider on 30bd. I really just can't believe that. They are so genuine. I find it hard to believe they'd eliminate oils from their diet yet eat cooked food at the same time.

Then there's the whole 1 pecent cooked that people go on about. Yes most people aren't 100 percent raw unless they are 811 but what is a little bit of tamari or something like that. I mean its very different being a cooked food eater to a raw food minus a little bit of some tiny thing mostly raw foodist.

I know someone who personally saw DW in a Japanese restaurant, eating cooked food. Not that I think there's anything wrong with that.
Maybe the bigger problem is the emphasis on 100% when, for so many, it's just not sustainable (even for gurus!) yet they feel they have to maintain appearances in order to keep their followers.

good point, 100% agree.

what would be wrong with emphasis on 98%, 95%? or 350 days/year?
