Huh?
Balance is what each of us >individualy< find for ourselves through common sense, intuition,experimentation and research which IMHO was the fulcrum of the video. Maybe you also missed the point made besides raw/vegan that they were making regarding the bigger picture that included exercise, sleep habits and lifestyle in general etc
By the simple standard that almost all restaurants offer vegan meals nowadays it has most definitely entered mainstream. It's not a majority and it never will be but definitely in the mainstream "consciousness" no if and or buts about it. Plain common sense. No rocket science here
I personally don't care for D Wolf but thats just me. I don't buy into his superfoods hype or expensive stuff. As I said from the gitgo that individually we hafta "find for ourselves through common sense, intuition,experimentation and research". If you might have listened with an open mind instead of "reacting" from some hard wired pet peeve even John mentions in a kind of sly way about using real food and not all this packaged hyped stuff. The video was more about not being closed minded and dogmatic but it was done in a vegan raw food context which is what these guys are into. You are just pissed off about all this newfangled interest in raw foods that for some reason you feel threatens your belief in the ancient ways of "Natural Hygiene"and that is all you saw. Immediately just hopped on you soapbox to vent your peeves when in reality it didn't really have anything at all to do with either what was said or the overall gist of not being dogmatic. You catching my drift............................ Life evolves amoeba. Just imagine what Bach would have said about Hendrix.........Get it?? ;+D
"Revisiting natural hygiene" regardless who or how and viewed for the bigger picture perspective outside of your soapboxing your personal "beliefs" and pet peves it is most definitely a good thing for Life. Again if some folks are too lazy or don't now any better than to spend and buy into the superfood hype that is still good thing from the bigger perspective that points to that life's consciousness is shifting to an awareness of natural hygiene ,sustainable resource and on and on. Not everyone will have the "capacity" to see any of what you're alluding to and that is simply how things are. No more no less the difference is you're pissed off about it which precludes your opportunity to ever see the bigger picture of how Life "actually" works. There is one little phrase that has served me well when I can remember it and that is "A serious man is like a clown without make-up".....................................;+D
People like Wolf or anybody else that you are "pissed off" about would not exist if Life didn't need them. There are many vehicles that point the way. Just not all will be >>your way<< These people that you are bitching bout are not the only "Source". You are just battling windmills to believe otherwise.................. "if you don't like it you won't understand it". Take this last phrase and and apply it internally" and try to "see" where I'm pointing to and not just "react" to your hardwired "beliefs". You are just reacting or better yet "reflecting" these people in an equal but not so opposite way though you "believe" it is when the realty is that it's a very very narrow parallel path that leads in the same direction......................
Over and out.
Calling these guys "dorks" really illustrates how not pissed off you are................riiight.........................;+D
And you are >>STILL<< railing on against raw foodism in a raw food "support" forum because......................;+D
Your overtly "hostile" sarcasm also illustrates how non extremist you are............................riiiight..............................;+D
This "balance" being spoken of here was about not being "dogmatic" regardless of anyones path but you applied it in whatever way suits your own dogma.....................niiiiice.............................;+D
Sweet dreams...............................................;+D
The only "dorky" thing happening here has been your off topic open hostility with nothing remotely related in any way shape or form to the original thread. Evidently you are just seeking conflict and without any provocation whatsoever venting your spleen and getting on your soapbox inappropriately in a >>>SUPPORT<<< forum.
There are many ways and just the in your face self evident reports of many thousands that have healed themselves and are very happy in their lives through some form of veganism. There is always going to extremism no matter what path, raw, veganism, omnivore, paleo, whatevah that is just plain obvious but this simple fact completely eludes you. The minority extremism does not negate or invalidate in any way shape or form the value for those that do take responsibility for themselves to do the legwork and find balance for themselves in whatever path they choose. In contrast there is always going to be the real and unhealthy frustrated dorks of the world that instead of being happy and content following whatever their chosen path may be they have a sick need to denigrate anything that is not their way. At this juncture >that< is what you should be looking at instead of inappropriately bringing your UNWELCOME unhealthy frustrations to SUPPORT forum. You getting this??? You've been around long enough to know that this is against the TOS and will get you banned.
Cruising in a forum that one completely disagrees with demonstrates an unhealthy need to >>SEEK<< conflict. In net geek speak that is referred to as a "troll". To extend that to a health oriented forum if we push the envelope we can say psychotic.
For shits and giggles let's say that by some very remote chance you had some altruistic purpose to educate. In that case then you are failing miserably..................................
