Subject:	Who has found it difficult to follow the raw food diet when many of its teachers seem crazy?

I sincerely want to know. I was serious about transforming
my diet to all raw foods until its examples, mostly men,
show such extreme viewpoints about attaining perfect health
as if we are meant to be a superman Aryan race, that it's
really turning me off. The most outspoken teachers are very
closed-minded, arrogant, and even ignorant that I feel too
offended and put down to want to proceed with supposedly
healthy eating. All I see is this Neo-Nazi, New Age
"spiritual" ideal when none of that is spiritual to me.
It's all a ruse of posturing and power play.

Therefore, how do the sensible people continue to carry on
with this diet while knowing in the back of their minds
that it is on the extreme side, and very extreme people are
its proponents? I sometimes want to eat animal products and
junky food just to regain some reality in the midst of
their highly controlled, egocentric methodology. Please
help me get back on track, Dr. Gosia, El-bo, MM, BJ, and
possibly others like you, not the outspoken bullies who are
the subject of this post (and if they still reply, wow that
proves my point). I don't necessarily need or want 100% raw
vegan foods, but I want to feel that desire toward mostly
raw foods again in a sensible way.
