I started a group called Dogma in raw lifestyle to express my detest to this tendency to resort to metaphysical explanations here. I had to delete it, however, because no one joined.
High proportion of the population is religious and they will definitely try to marry their believes with this lifestyle. I had also some debate about what so called breatharianism. I was surprised to see lots of talk, in that group, about angels and spirits as the bases for their practice. I don’t think you can change a deeply religious person so all what you can do is read their discussions as comedy.

I tend to agree. I wouldn't eat an animal because I consider myself a herbivore, but I don't think a carnivorous animal would hesitate to eat me if they were hungry. They'll look out for themselves first!

One of my favorite sayings is from the actor Chief Dan George as the old Indian in"Little Big Man"

"Some days you eat the bear...amd some days the bear eats you!"

Never have that problem with green smoothies but the blender does scare me.

The blender tried to eat me once. There was a piece of fruit stuck at the bottom so I turned the blender off to get it out, but I guess I leaned against the power button and it nearly chopped off the tip of my finger. *facepalm*

Ooh. That sounded extra painful for me because I'm a pianist.

lol Oooh yeah. I had to get stitches, The bone was broken, and the entire nail was destroyed, so it had to be removed. I wore a cast for about six weeks. It's 100% back to normal now, but it took a year to fully recover.

*shakes fist at blender* :-)

Oh man, that's a hell of a story. Good thing I'm so anal about unplugging devices. My father drilled that into me as a child.
