Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I feel better, and happier than I have since I was a little kid. Maybe if you are %100 percent raw and still feeling like shit there is something else going on. Being happy contributes a lot to one's health. If your life is overcomplicated and stressful than you're probly feeling strained more by that then the food you eat. I find also that toxins stored in my fatty tissues release alot quicker now that I'm raw, and this can be very exhausting. I'd like to start spending time at a spa to help aid this process, or bikram yoga. Since I've been raw my lifestyle stress level has gone way down. I'm less attatched to all the bullshit I think I need, because I'n all reality, that BS is whats keeping me from living a simple managebale life. There are 2 messages in this issue.

What I said was I didn't meet yet 100% raw vegan who looks healthy TO ME. Which means this is only MY opinion, it's form MY point of view. So if this is not correct English, I am sorry. >> but have you given any consideration to the fact that optimal personal health is not the only reason why some people eat a vegan diet. Norm, again, I wasn't speaking about veganizm, I was speaking about RAW veganizm. In most cases veganizm has nothing to do with health issues, but RAW veganizm is the extreme people go to in order to be healthier (not always, but often). I want to be healthier, doesn't matter how long will I live I want to be active and healthy while I am here in this world. And I want all people to be healthy and active. If the KEY is raw veganizm, then I will go for it, and I will promote it, but so far I didn't find any proof. Nick found for himself, I didn't. Eric, I remember you very well, and all group from that Nora's class. I agree that food is often not the main factor, that there are other factors that are part of health. This is why when I have been asked what is essential for health, I mentioned two points which I think MOSTLY affect health: 1) how much you eat and 2) stress (negative emotions). There are people living in mountains in Georgia (country, not US state) remaining active at age 150 years old. Scientists did some research, saying, it's the WATER, they drink high quality water! And then they said, it's the AIR, they breathe high quality air! Then they said, they don't eat leftovers, they feed leftover meat to their dogs! Then finally they discovered those people have never heard about World War II, which means low stress life.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Marcy and all, I don't know if you were outraged at my request that calls to action or at least asking people to come up with action, accompany reports of animal abuse. If so, I don't see how that is telling anyone not to post. I did not write that, nor even imply. I also did not in any way imply that people should shield themselves from learning about animal abuse. If it's my post you were referring to, then I feel you severely misinterpret and misrepresent what I wrote. If you weren't referring to my post, then never mind. For the record, I do urge people to learn about animal abuse. What Tammy said is so true, though. Not to offer (or at least ask for collaboration in initiating) project/s to deal with the issue, is like getting only half the story. I thought both Tammy and I were more along the lines of giving gentle nudges, that's all. Michelle, I absolutely *am* glad you posted that info. I just want people to be able to make as full use of it as possible. Thank you all for your compassion for the animals, Janice >Message: 6 > Sun, 5 Sep 2004 13:07:40 -0700 > " Marcy Greenhut " <imgreen03 >Re: please do not leave because of ucsf > >Michelle- >I for one am outraged that you would be asked not to post your information regarding vivisection, without being given an alternative method of reaching interested readers on the list. I don't know the basis, but if it is because it made a couple people uncomfortable, perhaps you could preface any messages in the future with a precaution for readers. This tactic is used on network news. > >Of course the description of vivisection is not pleasant, but neither is the reality of factory farming or the fur trade. The reality for the animals is horrific. TVs are set up on the street showing some of these horrors to the public, and so you would think a list devoting itself to animal rights and a vegan diet would welcome this information. > >Though it is heartbreaking to learn the truth, I haven't noticed that you are bombarding readers with these details. I don't understand how (in what way) you caused the issues posted to become unbalanced. > >To establish my position, I have not been active with vivisection and related issues. However, I firmly support those who engage in this activism for those of us who cannot (for whatever reason). (personally, my life is filled with volunteer activism related to other issues) > >I would ask that the moderators offer a solution, as I did above. Other activists post their activities and I actually appreciated the background information you provided. Though it is awful, I consider myself, as a human being, responsible for at least KNOWING what other members of my species are doing to co-habitators of this earth. > >I think a solution is to do just as I suggest: post a warning at the top of your message; and perhaps again just before the text gets to the horrifying part. I don't think a solution is to post to a 'forum', since readers of the list are less inclined to move over to a forum. I have found this doesn't work on other lists either. > >Thank you, Michelle, for perservering and doing the really difficult work that most people wouldn't even attempt. You should be honored for your work, and I hope you and the moderators can find an amicable solution. > >Marcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I hear that buckwheat, like quinoa, is a fruit rather than a grain. Maybe it's related to rhubarb, but rhubarb is not a fruit. > I think it's related to rhubarb. >> lane lynn <lanie wrote:I think I remember that buckwheat is not actually a grain, but a friut.
