For POPS ('pedantic' 'obsessive' 'purists') who completely respect the food choices of others, but find it fun, exciting and motivating to be 100% raw!

- About Me:
- Coming up to three years raw. High-fruit, Natural Hygiene-oriented, non-supplemented vegan diet. (I do eat rawgourmet occasionally, eg at restaurants/potlucks and occasionally make rg dishes at home.).
For more information on me, and raw generally, see my website at www.rawforlife.co.uk.
For regular articles on raw, see www.debbietookrawforlife.blogspot.com
Please note: Although 'high fruit', I am not '811'. But I agree with a lot of the things 811-ers say and will contribute in any way I can to discussions where I see the perpetuation of popular myths about fruit-based diets or that include posts accusing 811-ers of being 'evangelists', subscribing to 'dogma' and the like (yawn).
I will also offer 'the alternative' view if I see 'advice' dispensed that persuades those new to the most nutrient-packed diet in the world that their diets will be lacking unless they purchase 'miracle mineral supplements' and the like.
Finally and most importantly, I do believe people can be successful on all sorts of vegan/vegetarian raw food diet, EVEN 'LOW FRUIT', so I hope I've made that clear to anyone who would otherwise be tempted to put me in some sort of 'camp':-).
(Note - vegan/vegetarian only, as I don't regard animals as food. If do find myself in a discussion with someone who appears to be putting forth arguments for flesh-eating, I shall likely 'disengage'. Perhaps we can find common ground in some other area. So that I can refrain from debate on the forum, my reasons for not eating meat are here:
http://debbietookrawforlife.blogspot.com/2009/07/no-i-dont-eat-raw-meat-pt-1-health.html
It would be good if certain raw food promoters would stop implying that anyone who follows a different diet is doomed, and I include amongst those some of my best fruitie buddies as well as the 'too much fruit is dangerous' people :-)
I'm grateful that there are so many different personalities and approaches amongst the raw food leaders, as that will maximise the number of people who come into raw. Once we find out about raw, we can then find the type of diet and approach that 'resonates' (that word again!) with us.
And, finally, no, diet is NOT the only thing that affects our health. But looking at what we put into the hole beneath our noses is a good first step!

DR did mention them both in the same post. But that doasn;t change anything.
:-)
I am trying to work on my overall issues with negativity, as per the suggestions of my mentor, who I am studying non violent communication with. I will try to find ways to say what I think that don't make the other person feel guilty, which is a form of violence. Just because others do it doesn't mean I have to.
So I am sorry! Hopefully you will notice a change in my posts as I edit myself better!
