Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Surely as vegans we are supposed to be open-minded! A lot of people would say being vegan is extremist and taking things too far. once you start reading literature on raw foodism it actually seems to make a lot of sense. admittedly though it is definately something you should research properly before embarking on it as it is a major change of diet. Some people just do a high proportion raw food diet which would probably be best for greedy people like me! as for getting what you want from the air, yes, there are people who claim to do this too! Quite possible, but then I'll believe anything until its proved untrue! vegan-network, earthkid26@a... wrote: > well good luck with it Jack - i hope you know what you are doing.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 I apologise if i came over as sounding close-minded - I should espouse the teaching of the beloved Pauline Calf, " If you like it, try it! If you don't like it, try it, you might like it! " LOL! Do as you will, as long as it harm none. Mark x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
