I don't buy superfoods but I can't discount the possibility that some day my body will have some deficiency or weakness that could be helped by something out of the norm. So I keep an open mind. And I'm wild and crazy enough to have some raw cocoa that I eat maybe two times a month.

One of my favorite authors is Dr. Herbert Shelton.

Much of the 80-10-10 program is based on the teachings of Shelton. He is amazing!

Here are some examples of Shelton's writing, check out a few of his books:

Shelton was quite an influence on me in the early days.

hmmm...whats wrong with recieving things from machu pichu? its a beautiful place! true, its good to eat locally but...where would i be without my cocao, which doesnt even grow in america, right?

i appriciate condensed foods like superfood powders, cuz there great in smoothies...and i think humans CAN improve food...through processess of creating superfoods...why not? ...because theres MONEY involved doesnt create a negative vibe between me and the food...anymore...im here to have the best life ever, and if that includes makin money for foods, superfoods, whatever else my raw life fancies, I CANT FIGHT IT! i gave up complainin about the cost of ANYTHING i desire...if your desire is to eat simply without fancy powders, that might be the HEALthIEST thing for you. if your bitter cuz theres money involved, well sister, welcome to the world!

I've just read through this entire post and sure had a good laugh. Thank you all who contributed.
:D

There is no ONE diet. There is a CURRENT diet, i.e., the one that works for YOU... TODAY.
What worked yesterday maybe different than what works today.
What works today may be different than what will work tomorrow.

Change is constant. We move, change, and evolve (hopefully) all the time.

I find it funny that people get so incredibly offended by what someone else chooses to eat (or listen to, or promote, or fill-in-the-blank). Who cares? I mean, really? Does it change anything regarding your personal health?

FREE WILL is beautiful.
It enables us to take in information, discern what we choose to keep, and act on that information, again, as we choose.
Leave the rest.
To each his own.
Que sera sera.
yada yada yada
...


Now, can we all have one big group hug?

pretty please?

anyone?

hahaha. lol i would really love to see somebody interview david wolfe and ask confront him on these issues.
i saw a really good thing on 30bananas a day with an interview and david wolfe was originally fruitarian and he did not believe in supplements, dehydrated or packaged foods.
i like alot of his work like his sunfood pyramid. i think the green, fat and fruit approach he had is really moderate and great
for beginners of raw food and the whole wild food thing is really good too. some of the foods he eats seem so exotic when they are in their fresh straight from the tree state. but the whole sales thing just makes him look ridiculous. he doesn't go a sentence without saying the best day ever.

Did you ever think of it the other way....maybe he quite being a fruitarian because it didn't work, not because he was greedy.

Why is he still planting fruit trees then. He says he wants to plant fruit trees across the face of the Earth. If what you say is true, then what is the point?

i'm not actually fruitarian myself nor do i know if it's the right approach to raw food. just pointing out the irony more so with the supplements because he was very not into fractured foods and how sells cacao ect. personally though i think the whole foods he is into like aloe, coconuts ect are great.

Travis, maybe he evolved from high fruit to something fitting him now better?

Growth and evolution is happening in life, and maybe it is the whole meaning of it..., I hope you have

no problem with that?

Of cause YOUR definition of growth is different than David's, and I also hope you leave space for different opinions about what growth is..
