Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda!

Our highly technological society has processed, refined and tampered with food to the point where most products in a grocery cart today are unrecognizable as to their source. Boxes of sugared and colored shapes called cereals and pastas and soda pop full of drugged meat also fill the rows. Our unfounded trust in the innocuous nutritive value of these products needs to be educated. The truth needs to be spread that these chemicals added to our food and the stripping away of our nutrients is detrimental to our health and well-being.

Food should be regarded as medicine with a complex pharmacology, and this is made more complicated by the addition of thousands of chemicals into our food, making foods essentially drugs with certain side affects. Perhaps too, our prevalent problem of obesity is partially related to craving for nutrients (known and those yet undiscovered) that have been processed out of our food.

America's material affluence has led to a nation that is overfed but undernourished. A diet based on meat and very little fresh raw food is deficient in many nutrients, including the very important essential fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic acids, found only in plant sources (seeds, nuts, avocadoes, beans, grains, etc.). These fats, which we must have in our diets as we cannot synthesize them ourselves, are precursors of an important class of modulators of hormone activity. They have been found to be important in various disorders as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, menstrual cramps and toxemia of pregnancy. These fats may be chemically altered by cooking and processing, thus their sources should be eaten fresh and raw.

On the other hand, the typical American diet is sickeningly rich in saturated fat and overabundant in protein. This high saturated fat and high protein diet has been correlated with higher rates of cancer and heart disease, major killers in our society. This type of diet is also lacking in fiber. Fiber may be defined as that part of food that passes undigested into the colon (large intestine). Low fiber diets are thought to have a role in appendicitis, diverticular disease, cancer of the colon, constipation, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, diabetes and heart disease. Popular foods such as hamburgers, pizzas, chesse, fried chicken and hot dogs are low in fiber and high in saturated fat and protein.

Hopefully this short introduction has interested you in improving your diet. My good friend, Joe Alexander, certainly is an inspiration to eating better to feel better. He radiates good vibrations and has more energy than anyone I know.

The most idealistic emotional feelings tend to lead people to feel that a diet of raw fruits, nuts and vegetables is the "lightest, purest and most beautiful," while unprejudiced reasoning leads us to the conclusion that these things must be our natural diet because they are the foods we are attracted to and enjoy in their raw, natural state. The most pure-hearted intuition and the most thoroughly rational science always lead to the same point.

The greatest value of the raw food diet is its transformative value. To a great extent, when you take up the raw food diet, you become a new and different and better person. You don't just stay the same old person, only a little healthier. You become, to a great extent, a new being with new interests, a new philosophy and outlook on life, new goals and desires. You become a person who is more a part of the great life of Nature and less of the confused human world. You become less "of the World" and more of the Earth."

Such transformations of course are impossible to imagine before you have experienced them. So the raw food diet doesn't so much "improve you" as "replace you" with somebody better! One of the most common statements of people who take up raw food diet in middle age or later, is that they now feel younger than they did even as teenagers. And yet at the same time they feel possesors of an ancient and ageless and eternal wisdom. The spirit is old and wise, and fresh and young at the same time.

Raw foodists get new insight into how much better (than we commonly imagine) life can and should be, how Nature intended it to be. The common little miseries of life, such as frequent colds and flu, indigestions, chapping of hands and lips in cold weather, bad breath, sluggishness and depression, disappear, and become seen as not natural and normal parts of life at all, but indications of an unbalanced and unhealthy, chronically poisoned condition.

Arnold Ehret wrote, once you have taken a few steps on the road back to Paradise Health, you see that modern man is not at all a highly intelligent and advanced creature, but a degenerated shadow of what he ought to be.

I have read in farmers' magazines, that if you want your hogs to fatten up quickly, feed them boiled potatoes, not raw; that if you want your cattle to gain weight, cook their grain; don't feed it to them raw. The huge American overweight problem is probably due to the unnatural eating of cooked foods, rather than any specific types of "fattening" foods.

Why does raw food provide such better nourishment, such superior vitalizing and health-giving qualities, than cooked food? Well, we can look at it from two angles, the material and the immaterial. On the one hand cooking destroys the natural chemical composition of the food. The vitamins are altered and destroyed, the proteins are scrambled, the enzymes are torn to pieces. Even simple mixtures of just a few inorganic elements can often be totally changed in character through cooking over a Bunsen burner. What then of foodstuffs, composed of thousands of the most complex organic chemicals poised in fragile balance?

Taking it from the inmaterial angle, the great harm of cooking is that it destroys or drives off the life-force in the food. Just look at how strong and alive a fresh raw carrot looks, and compare that to the limp and decaying appearance of a cooked carrot. Some people are able to dowse the life-force in foods via a pendulum. The wider the circle the pendulum swings in, the greater the life-force. They find that the pendulum indicates much greater life-force in raw foods, as our common sense would expect.

But the most convincing test is that of your own experience. You make a comparison between a meal of raw vegetables, and a meal of the same types of vegetables cooked. The raw vegetables leave you filling light, fresh and alert, whereas the same vegetables cooked will make you feel lethargic and sluggish for hours after a big meal, such as Thanksgiving dinner. But meals of raw food don't produce such lethargy and dullness. Vegetarians don't believe in killing for food, but too often they kill their food by cooking it!

Raw food diet is a sort of rational and healthy austerity. It is the sort of discipline that makes you more free. For example, a skilled draftsman and painter is free to make pictures that look like anything he or she desires to create. The unskilled person is free only to fool around and make childish-looking pictures. The raw food diet is a healthy discipline that frees you to be more creative, work harder and think more clearly. It also makes you more free to enjoy the beauties and wonders of the natural world.

There is a popular saying, "You are what you eat." Well, this is a partial truth. There are many, many factors that go into making up just what and who you are. Food is one of them, and one of no small importance. Diet has much to do with the health of the body and much to do with the basic attitude of the mind, whether it is aspiring, searching for truth and growth, or just wants to stay stuck in the same old rut. Many factors go to make up what we are, and since food is one of considerable inportance, I am writing this book to tell what I have learned of the food factor.

RAW FOODISM HAS SPREAD
mostly because it makes sense. It makes horse sence and common sense and some of the witty types say it makes dollars and xcents, because fruit and vegetables are cheaper than meat and it also saves you thousands of dollars on doctor bills, dentist bills, and drugs of both the recreational and prescription variety. Prescription drugs of course you don't buy anymore as a raw foodist because you don't get sick; recreational drugs lose much of their attraction because raw food diet is a better high than even LSD, to say nothing for marijuana. You also save money on gas or electricty to run your stove, and you tend to prfer to walk or ride a bicycle so you save money on gasoline also. The world of Nature becomes far more interesting than artifical entertainments so you tend to spend less on movies too. On the other hand, you are likely to develop a strong desire to convert the world, and end up spending all that money you saved on publishing books and pamphlets to spread your propaganda!

Every person whose thought processes have not become hopelessly corrupted by cooked-food addiction and spurious health theories, always recognizes immediately as soon as they hear about raw foodism, that of course it is the most natural and therefore bound to be the healthiest and why didn't I think of it myself a long time ago? However, true science and intuitive understanding never contradict, and there is in fact a good deal of hard scientific data to show the superior health benefits of a raw food diet, and some of the more intelligent, educated and respectable raw foodists are constantly gathering more such data, so that for a person capable of unprejudiced thought, the evidence for the raw food diet is now absolutely irrefutable.

"Cancer growths and sores appear in practically every part of the body and take a long time to heal. Since the body creates these conditions, it is essential to eliminate the food which feeds their development. From his long experience, Dr. Earp-Thomas was fully convinced that when cooked food was eaten it permitted tumors and growths to build within the body. Yet when living food was substituted, these tumors and growths immediately began to shrink for lack of nourishment. The most thrilling experience I can recall was to see cancer cells taken from a human body and thriving on cooked food but unable to survive on that same food when it was uncooked."

Of course this pattern applies to the macrocosom as well as the microcosom! The cancerous growth on the planet-that modern human technocratic civilization has become-lives on cooked food! If people would return to natural eating, this cancer on the Earth could not survive.

"The experience of my good friend, John A. MacDonald, shows the power, the almost unbreakable strength for evil, in improper foods. Some years ago, John owned a pet shop which specialized in the raising of white mice. He sold mice by the thousands all over the world. In his enclosure for the mice, he had thousands all over the world. In his enclosure for the mice, he had placed a large bale of hay. From the dried grass, the mice built a cooperative apartment house. They cut numerous tunnels through it, built hanging gardens, cliff-dwelling pueblos and wonderful balconies on which they raised their young in harmony. It was a happy existence of peace and plenty

"John became concerned about the rising price of grain to feed the mice and was on the lookout for ways to cut costs. A neighbor who ran a rather sizeable boarding house offered to supply him daily with leftover scraps from her tables. John gladly accepted the opportunity to increase his profits. But when the leftover food was sustituted for the grain, a blight seemed to settle over the mouse community. Eating the same food that human beings ate changed the complexion of the c0-operative establisment. Quarrels broke out and battles raged through the baled-hay corridors. By the end of the week, dead mice littered the floor of the compound. Cannibalistic parents ate their young. The weaker mice were slain without provocation.

"Realizing that only disaster loomed ahead, John threw out the scraps of food and went back to grain. The result was quickly evident. No more mice were found dead of half eaten. This is not an imaginary story. It is a documented history of facts. And what the food human beings ate did to the mice, it is evidently doing today in many disastrous ways to our children and adults in many of our communities."

"Here is another incident to demonstrate the havoc of unsuitable food. It is the saga of two sister white cats having litters of kittens in the same bureau drawer one early May. They were both fed a mild, dry cat food mixed with freshly cut wheatgrass. Harmony reigned in that drawer as the eight kittens used any convenient spout that was available for the precious milk. The kittens did not know which of the cats was their mother.

Then on May 25, responding to an advertisement on television, the mother cats were switched from their accustomed food to canned meat with no wheatgrass. The harmonious situation began to disrupt almost immediately. On May 31 the two mother cats were rolling on the floor clawing each other, bringing blood to their white fur. The canned meat was not served that evening, and in its place was the mild cat food with the wheatgrass. This feeding was continued and within a week the two mother cats once again sprawled out peacefully to co-operatively feed the youngsters. The experiment was repeated again to make sure this was the reason for the change in disposition of the mother cats. The results were the same."

In the same book, Dr. Wigmore makes the statement that cooking destroys up to 83% of the value of food. So, eating cooked food is like taking a job at $300 a week and, after taxes, getting $51 to take home to support your luxurious lifestyle.

In John Tobe's book "The Golden Treasury of Natural Health Knowledge," there is a copy of a paper by Paul Kouchakoff, M.D., for the First International Congress of Microbiology, in Paris, in 1930. Dr. Kouchakoff's discovery concerned the leukocytes, the white blood cells. Apparently it was well known that immediately after a person ate, there was a sudden increase of the white corpuscles occurred. Here are some of the key points of Dr. Kouchakoff's conclusions:

"After 300 experiments on ten individuals of different ages and sex, we have come to the following conclusions:

1. The augmentation of the number of white corpuscles and the alteration of the correlation of the percentage between them which takes place after every consumption of food, and was considered until now as a physiological phenomenon, is, in reality, a pathological one. It is called forth by the introduction into the system of foodstuffs altered by means of a high temperature and by complicated treatments of ordinary products produced by nature.

2. After the consumption of foodstuffs produced by nature but altered by means of high temperature, an augmentation of the general number of the general number of white corpuscles, as well as a change in the correlation of this percentage, takes places.

3. It has been proved possible to take, without changing the blood formula, every kind of foodstuff which is habitually eaten now, but only by following this rule, viz.-that it must be taken along with raw products, according to a definite formula. (Author's note-as I recall, this formula was that the raw foods must be eaten first and must consitute at least 50% of the total meal.)

4. Blood examination can only have significance as a diagnosis if it is made on an empty stomach."

In his book "Pasteur Plagiarist Imposter!," R.B. Pearson describes experiments done with cats by Dr. F.M. Pottenger and D.G. Simonsen. Pearson writes:

"They put two groups of cats on diets of meat and vegetables, identical in value, except that in one group the meat was given raw, and this group seemed to maintain normal good health throughout the experiments. In the pther group the meat was all cooked, and this group showed an astonishing breakdown of health in ALL of the animals.

"They found every sign of lack of minerals, such as incomplete development of the skull or other bones, bowed legs, rickets, curvature of the spine, paralysis of the legs, convulsive seizure, thyroid abscesses, cyanosis of liver and kidneys, enlarged colon, and degeneration of the motor nerve ganglion cells throughout the spinal cord and brain stem, with some cells affected in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex."

Strange to say none of the cats on raw meat had any of these troubles at all, yet millions of humans are afflicted with one or more of them, and have no conception of the cause, and neither have their doctors in most of the cases. They add, of these cats: "The deficiency renders the experimental animals so deplete in important vitalizing factors that the third generation is unable to live beyond the period corresponding to childhood in the human being."

This experiment of Drs. Pottenger and Price is one of the most interesting pieces of objective evidence for the value of the raw food diet.

While it's nice if you can get objective and scientific evidence in favor of the things you believe in, the only thing that really matters concerning a subject such as diet, is whether the diet in question will actually make us feel healthier and happier.

So let's see what some raw foodists have described as their subjective reaction to the raw foodists have described as their subjective reaction to the raw food diet. First I'll give you a few that I have borrowed from other books and then some original, never before published stories.

"If your blood 'stock' is formed from eating the foods I teach (fruits and green-leaf vegetables), your brain will function in a manner that will surprise you. Your former life will take on the appearance of a dream, and for the first time in your existence your consciousness awakens to a real self-consciousness.

"Your mind, your thinking, your ideals, your aspirations and your philosophy changes fundamentally in such a way as to beggar description.

"Your soul will shout for joy and triumph over all misery of life, leaving it all behind you. For the first time you will feel a vibration of vitality through your body (like a slight electric current) that shakes you delightfully"

My experience with raw foods began six years ago, when I accompanied a friend who had cancer to the Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston. The friend was looking for a cure and I for a vacation. After all, I was already a devout lacto-ovo-junk food vegetarian and needed no instruction in the proper way of eating.

"I had an interview with Ann Wigmore, as did my friend, as soon as we set foot in the Institute. Ann's gentleness will never be forgotten and neither will her bluntness. I learned in ten short minutes that my 160 plus pound body, acne, circles under the eyes, digestive troubles, allergies, constipation and general lethargy were far from normal. Her comments regarding the internal condition of my colon will never be put into print. My body with its wounded ego decided to give, fruits, seeds, sprouts, and wheatgrass juice a two-week trial and no more.

"The 'experiment' is still taking place, and my initial negative reaction to true and radical vegetarianism has blossomed into a passion and commitment that is uncompromising. After the first year of eating about 90% raw and 10% steamed vegetables, occasional baked yams and sun baked breads, I shed 45 pounds and immediately rid myself of food, dust, and pollen allergies. In fact, I have not purchased a box of Kleenex in years. The acne faded away after two years as did circles under the eyes, which are a definite indication of renal stress and adrenal exhaustion. Constipation and lethargy go hand in hand, and both disappeared as soon as I embrassed a diet of water-filled fruits and vegetables in addition to the elimination of dairy products.

"Friends would invite me to dinner from time to time and I would once again indulge in such dishes as eggplant parmesan, tofu tacos, and nut cutlets with cheese. Within hours clear nasal passages became filled with mucus; indigestion reappeared as did constipation. Several of these experiences proved to me that the body is indeed a self-cleaning, self-regulatory and self-maintained organism. Foods that do not appear in nature and particularly cooked foods do the body more harm than good, because they retard the normal nourishing, cleansing and restorative process.

"The effect that raw food vegetarianism has had on mental acuity and spirituality is even more profound. A clean body and a began to praise me on writing and speaking abilities as if I were a new person. Concentration improved and an increased stamina and attention to detail became the rule rather than the exception. I require less sllep than ten years ago, and am much more productive in tasks I undertake.

"Spiritually speaking, I feel closer to mother earth and truly connected to creation. Raw food vegetarianism is a humble way of eating. It is accepting food as it was created by God for our consumption and not trying to improve on mother nature. Raw food vegetarianism is peaceful . It is simplicity. Raw foods give life rather than take it area. When the body exists in a trouble free state and the mind is pure, the soul can be free at last to express itself. The soul can play. The raw food diet is one of the most efficient ways to unite mother earth, body and mind with spirit and isn't this the purpose of living?"

"My turn to a raw food diet started 20 years ago. I was beat up by a bully, and my ego was totally deflated. The first thing that came to mind was revenge. I started lifting weights, in hopes of getting stronger than my foe. This was all the wrong reason, but having this experience of getting a black eye sprouted a seed in me that has taken me through a journey of extremes in search for perfect health and well-being.

"I went on my way for the next eleven years lifting heavy weights, getting big muscles, cramming all the food high in protein and taking endless supplements. This I thought was perfect health, although I still got sick, and didn't feel that extremely great. I kept getting bigger until I reached 220 pounds. Being in this state doesn't do much for the betterment of the world, or inner health, mental or physical.

"As time went on I had a conversation with a wise person about eating meat. It made so much sense to me I knew I had to become a vegetarian. All my friends thought I was crazy. They said I wouldn't get enough protein and lose my big muscles (a fate worse than death). It's not easy to become a vegetarian, or especially a raw foodist, without being around encouraging people to help. The rewards are great! Perfect health, a sense of well-being that can't be explained, only experienced. A deep love for the earth and its creatures. Isn't that what we can't get too much of? Love, Bill."

"Throwing away (or just not using) my kitchen stove at first seemed like a really strange idea, as it is such an intricate part of our lives. I had always been a very good cook - mostly out of necessity since my mother was such a horrid one. If I wanted to eat anything at all palatable, I had to 'cook' it myself. How was i to know that the most palatable (and nutritious) of all would have been to just not cook it at all - and anything that could not be eaten uncooked should just not be eaten. As I said, This notion of not cooking seemed very strange, but as I thought of the idea more and more it began to make a lot of sense.

"Most of my life I was quite concerned with eating properly. I have been a vegetarian for many years and have read extensively about health and nutrition. Almost all of the intelligent and well-written books on the subject advocated eating a lot of fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts 'in the raw state if possible,' but there were few that said that everything should be raw, and if and when I did this, somehow I just couldn't quite comprehend that this could actually be done- after all, everyone cooks. It's just something that no one questions as we (the human race) have been doing it for generations. It's just one of those rituals that everyone accepts as being very necessary - like getting a cold or two plus the flu every year, a headache at least once a week, and indigestion when one overeats (or sometimes just eats).

"Well, my husband and I were open to try new things, and quite by coincidence at the very time we were reading a book about raw foodism we met the author of the same book - our own Joe Alexander. Now reading about something and actually discussing it with an authority who has experienced it are two different things. This meeting was to change our lives. The timing was perfect as we were already intersted and felt that this was just the next step in our quest for perfect health. So we took the giant step and threw away our pots and pans (our stove we kept for making tea).

"I experienced no cleansing crisis, no cold, no flu-like symptoms - just extreme energy and vitality. And I sure saved a lot of my valuable time not having to 'cook' meals. The transition was not at all difficult as I thought it might be - it was actually fun to experiment with things I had never even thought could be eaten raw - like squash, or sweet potatoes. Everything has such a unique, crispy and juicy flavor when raw. I was actually asking myself why anyone would ever want to cook those beautiful fruits and vegetables. If your kids don't like cooked peas or spinach or zucchini, try giving it to them raw. Cooking takes away the sweetness, the crispness, and turns it all into a flavorless mush that needs salt, pepper, spices, ketchup, sauces or other assorted 'flavor enhancers' to make it palatable. Why go to all that trouble in the first place?

We've been eating basically raw foods for two years now, and in that period of time I have not had one cold or flu, no constipation (or diarrhea), no infections of any kind. I've had no itching scalp, headaches, indigestion, lack of energy, irritability, insomnia, or any other affliction that people tend to think of as just a part of living.

"Animals who live on a natural diet of uncooked foods don't suffer from any of these civilized problems, so why should we? It's a lot easier than you think to become a part of nature''s scheme of things. As far as I'm concerned, the only natural diet is a raw food diet."

Now sometimes there are people who are attracted to raw foodism but don't know just how to go about doing it. After all, it's a very unaccustomed thing for most people to do. Most of us, all our lives, have become used to eating cooked food with every meal, to spending a substantial amount of time over at the stove shuffling pots and pans around, turning the burners up and down, putting in a dash of this and a pinch of that... it would certainly feel strange to suddenly stop all that. It would feel eerie. Suddenly there would be this big hole, this immense void in your life. It's like you've been carrying around a 75 lb. backpack all your life and now all of a sudden you're supposed to take it off. You've been fiddling with straps and shifting the weight around and learning to walk a little stooped over to balance the load - and now someone is asking you all of a sudden to take off your backpack! It would certainly feel strange to be without it. What would you do with all the time you used to spend fiddling with the straps and adjusting the load? And how strange it will feel not to have that weight on your back! So you see why people find it strange to contemplate the idea of becoming raw foodists.

Not being accustomed to raw food eating, some people create some strange, imaginary, mystical ideas about what it is. For instance, some people I have met, seem to think of raw food eating as a sort of unattainable ultimate goal of life, some sort of far off blissful, ecstatic condition that you can hope for and long for and gradually work towards but can never quite actually attain. Well, of course it is nothing of the sort. Raw food eating does help keep your emotions at a higher tone, so you don't get as far down in the dumps as you used to. But the purpose of life is not to become a raw food eater. Rather the purpose of raw food eating is to keep you healthy and energetic and clear of mind so that you can better accomplish some worthwhile goals in life.

Now when the question comes up, of how does one actually become a raw foodist, I am reminded of the old saying "A number of possible and more-or-less equally effective modes of procedure are at the disposal of one whose chosen goal is to remove the hide from the mortal remains of a cat." Sometimes this old saying is alternatively expressed as, "Numerous possible options may be successfully employed by one who desires to accomplish the removal of the epidermal organ from a feline cadaver," thus proving that there's more than one way to skin a cat!

One way to become a raw foodist is to just go ahead and do it. For instance, one friend once told me about a man who read about raw foodism and decided right then and there that he was going to do it, and not only himself but his whole family was going to do it. So he drove to the farmers' market, loaded up the car with fruit and drove home. When he got home the kids looked at all the peaches and watermelons and bananas in the car and said, "Oh boy, dessert!" And the man answered, "Yep, kids, from now on it's all dessert!"

Some people perfer to go into it more slowly and gradually, of course, like someone who wants to go into the pool at the shallow end and test the water every inch of the way to make sure that there are no sharks of that the water is not going to suddenly turn boiling hot or something. Many transition diet plans have been developed for people who prefer this approach. For instance, Arnold Ehret developed the plan of first replacing your mucus-forming foods with mucus-lean foods. (i.e. baked potato, whole grain crakers or dry whole-grain toast, baked sweet potato, and fish) and then gradually replacing those more and more with totally mucusless foods, and thus gradually working your way towards the ideal of raw fruit, vegetable and nut diet.

Viktoras Kulvinskas in "Survival into the 21st Century" has much good information on transition diets, as does also "Fit for Life" by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond.

I'll give you a transition diet plan here also. Some people like to have such plans. Many people are a little afraid to try to figure out what to do all on their own. They feel safer if someone else tells them what they should do. That way they feel they are under the guidance of their own incompetent selves. Actually it's plenty OK to experiment and work things out on your own, find what feels good for you, in this matter of natural raw food diet. In the line of raw foods, pretty much anything you eat is going to be safer than a doughnut or a hamburger. If you do make a mistake, the worst that can happen is that you get a little indigestion from a poor combination. It's hardly possible to become malnourished on a raw food diet, even if it doesn't contain a huge variety of foods. I once lived for 56 days straight on just juicy fruits, no bananas or avocadoes or vegetables. I never felt stronger in my life. The diseases of malnutrition, like scurvy and beri-beri and so forth, are quickly relieved with fresh fruits and vegetables. So I think the best thing is to experiment and eat what you like, in the quanities that feel good to you, just keeping in mind a few simple principles, i.e.:

4. You'll feel a lot better if you don't eat late at night, less than three hours before sleeping. Go to bed hungry, and you'll feel more alert when you wake up.

For people that REALLY want someone to tell them just what to do, John Tobe wrote a raw food diet plan that gave a complete scedule of recipes for every meal, 365 days a year.

Now then, here is my transition diet plan. Remember I am not an expert or authority and I do not clailm my plan is the best plan. It is, however, a practical and workable plan which will improve the health of a person who follows it. This plan is meant to be applied at intervals of three months; that is, do step one immediately, step two in three months, step three, three months after that, and so on.

1. Give up white sugar, white flour, white rice and any other polished grains, and give up all the carbonated soft drinks.

2. Give up any daily drinking of alcohol. Cut it down to once a week or less. Preferably none. Quit trying to drown your problems in drinking, you jerk! The world needs sober wokers to spread the truth and build a better way of life. You don't help anybody by lying around like a stupid drunken pig making a fool of yourself. And if you're smarter than me, you'll quit any coffee or tea drinking at this point too.

3. Give up cooked red meats, i.e. cattle, pig, sheep, horse, goat, deer, rabbit, armadillo, moose, etc.

5. Give up cooked white meat, i.e. fish, chicken, turkey, duck, pigeon, squid, snail, oyster, snake, frog, iguana, octopus, etc.

This is the 30th month, it's taken you 2 1/2 long, tortuous, excruciating years of blood, toil, tears, sweat, pain and sorrow, but you've finally done it! You're a real raw food eater! Congratulations! Mother Earth welcomes you back into the fold of her normal, sane, sensible creatures!
