I would like to suggest that being a raw foodist has to involve keeping your brain and growing your heart. We may not stay healthy otherwise.

Eat raw, keep your brain, grow your heart

To answer your question in your article -

"So why do we see so much hatred amongst the raw vegan crowds? Why so much conflict and drama? And, what most worrying of all, why do we see mobs of haters that go after individuals and bully them?"

Most raw foodists are of a certain faction, whose nature it is to be Character Assassins. (Isolate, demonize, label and destroy)

This faction, to which most raw foodists belong, is all about cult of personality, celebrity, popularity, looks, sex - like they're still in high school. Shallow.

Raw foodiest are not isolated from the effects of social media. Although, raw fooders identify themselves as being as natural as possible, the technology of the internet and media are major players in their life. Raw food inside wars are products of technology where people are socially allowed to be cruel when their group is attacked. The best offense to a projected enemy is rewarded with higher group status. Othertimes, raw fooders use the power of group attacks to go for others. This has nothing to do with being raw, vegan, or the phychological effects of a diet. The internet is the dominating landscape of raw fooders. Lots of stories are developed with high doses of artistic control of language and exagerations. Thus, the internet allows an unhealthy person to appear grandiose if ennough verbal effort is put to polish a believable story. The manipulation of language and cherry picking are used as facts. But most internet wars are won by the number of votes and mass attacks (after an story is developed and exposed) and that's the mechnism.

That's the Raw Foodiest logic you ever uttered - LOL

Lois, if you are crtizing what I wrote, please make an effort to say why. Otherwise, it is just a reaction Suez would make.

Hey Hon, I'm just teasing you for the typo - 'raw foodiest'. Take it with a grain of salt

You guys are funny.

Lois, I know what you mean. I wonder sometimes, is this something that we should have expected to happen? As the result of people getting online access? Is what we see a representative cross-section of the society? Or perhaps some other factors play role?
