RE: Why Cheese Is Addictive/Rawfood

[Guest guest]

I should point out that I am not a

100% raw fooder. I am a vegan; and

most of the time I am 80% raw, but not

always. Sometimes I am only 50%.

 

Though I am not advocating 100%, many

raw vegans do. I personally do not find

such behavior obsessive. With all do

respect to Paul's opinion, I am 100%

meatless. I do not consider that

obsessive; rather I consider it imperative--

for the animals, for my health, and for

the environment.

 

I have noticed that increasing the

amount of raw food in my diet results

in more energy, less lethargy. Though

I cannot prove that it is due to eating

more raw and less cooked food, I believe

it to be the case. An internet search

will yield similar opinions from others

(which are personal experiences).

 

happy reading,

 

tev
