Bobo's reintroduction

[Guest guest]

Greetings to everyone in the Rawfood group. About a year ago, my friend and

co-founder in the

PathOfHealth group, Bob Farrell, created a character named " Bobo " . Bobo was

silenced for awhile,

for various reasons, but I am delighted to announce that he resurfaced today in

the PathOfHealth

<http://health.pathofhealth/> group, his new home.

We are so

looking forward to enjoying Bobo's primate insights on many matters.

 

Anyway, here is Bobo's reintroduction message. Best to all,

Elchanan

[PathOfHealth] Bobo's reintroduction

 

 

Back on April 26, 2005, I " created " Bobo in this original post (note that at the

time I'd been

raw about 6 months, and it'll be two years in 6 weeks.) I thought some might

like to see

(re-see) Bobo's introduction. What is he? he's a Bonobo primate, name Bobo.

(which is a takeoff

on my name...! lol!) anyhow..here's when he first showed up:

 

orig. post 16438 on Rawfood:

 

 

 

Hi Kay..

 

interesting post...I enjoyed most of it, and found the rest

interesting.

 

some of what I see going on is very much like the Blind Men and the

Elephant story - a lot of it depends upon perspective: which part of

the elephant has the blind man gotten a hold of?

 

for instance,

 

 

>

> There is the garlic thing,

> The buckwheat drama,

> The Banana dilemma,

> The seaweed scenario,

> ... One gets the picture? ..

 

 

 

I look at all of the above, and use my WWBD? saying...(no offense to

any religious out there..) which stands for What Would Bobo Do? with

Bobo being my imaginary primate friend, who uses his senses to help

sort out whether or not something is a good food for him.

 

for the garlic - doesn't look all that appealing, doesn't smell too

good (and Bobo would probably stop by now,), and one small taste

would tell him that it's not a good food for him..

 

for the buckwheat drama - Bobo doesn't know anything about the

science and the studies..how does it look? if it's the hard

grain/seed , probably not interested; if it's the " sprouted " seed,

looks interesting, smells ok...and tastes, well just ok...probably

wouldn't eat much of it (and yes, I've sprouted, grown and eaten and

juiced Buckwheat..even attended the original HHI in Boston...spend a

day there, read many of Dr. Ann Wigmore's, Victor Kulvinksas' books,

etc..etc..Bobo has not...) it's green, it's got chlorophyll, etc...

taste is only so so...

 

now, let's do the banana with Bobo -- looks interesting...seems to

have a handle on top....ok...smells ok...smells much better once he

pulls on the handle, and opens the banana...and it

tastes...hmm..GREAT..! so Bobo eats some of the bananas, sees how

they agree with him, and then eats some more, and then makes it a

staple of his diet..I'm with Bobo so far...

 

The seaweed scenario - hmm...let's see as they are floating in the

ocean/body of water...looks: not great..taste: hmm...very

salty...Bobo probably stops; if he runs across it " dry " - looks: poor;

smell - poor...he stops...no need to go further...

 

For me, Bobo is a good " grounding " base - not complicated, based in

Nature, species close enough to our own that I feel comfortable using

it/him as a model, and it has yet to lead me astray. Notably, this

is a very recent base for me...and yes, I'm studying Natural Hygiene

and Life Science, as espoused by T.C. Fry, H.M. Shelton and others,

*and* I'm grounding with Bobo.

 

I don't see all the threads as so much " conflicting " as just

different perspectives, with which I'm perfectly ok. It creates no

conflict for me, just like observing the weather: some days it's

sunny, others cloudy, and others stormy, and it's always " weather " .

Just like this group is what it is. Like, when it's 70F outside, is

that hot/ medium or cold? it's none of those actually, it's just

70F.

 

 

 

Later, I may go grab some of the other " earlier " Bobo posts. If I do, I'll post

them as

" originals " , meaning I won't edit/doctor them to change the original

perspective. If I have

significantly different views now, or expanded learnings, I may comment on

those. He's an

anthropoid primate, very close to us, and he's my imaginary " sensory " buddy. He

may appear from

time to time, and he's a very good companion!

 

Please feel free to " borrow " Bobo anytime you'd like: he doesn't care! lol!

 

best,

 

Bob
