Ghandi being a fruitarian is cool.

Selene, all the positive humanitarian reforms in the last four hundred years have come from the birth of secular humanism, not from religion; that is my point. You can call Jesus's philosophy whatever you'd like, but the bibles (note the plural - as they are so many of them) are something that had to be broken away from to make the world a better place. If Jesus had really concrete, non-vague positive philosophies, than he really should have been able to use the window of two thousand years to bring about something better than feudalism, slavery, burned heretics , homosexuals and witches, almost universal meat-eating...it never happened until some of us put him and "god" aside long enough to look at ourselves. But if you don't get that, I'm not going to argue.

Force the change you want to see in the world through direct, socialist democracy!

Raw food eating is wise today because the entire food supply is contaminated. It wasn't in ancient times. There is no need to equate raw food with Christianity, or to pit the two against each other, as some do. There does not have to be a conflict. But we do need to take care of our temples.

---> FirstGarden said it all with these statements!

Mocha, I have to correct my comment as I was told it was partly wrong. I couldn't find the darn edit button or I would've made the correction there.

Okay, so Yeshua may have eaten fish, however, it is not the optimal diet. The optimal is a raw, mucusless diet. One is allowed to eat animal protein in the Bible but it is not ideal. If you look at the ages of the men in the various generations, they lived almost to 1,000 years due to eating raw vegan. Then, a change occurs where the lifespan gets shorter until about the length of time we live today if we were SAD eaters.

Hope that helps. Therese

Gandhi wasn't a fruitarian later in life; he even changed from vegan to vegetarian and rather sternly warned against veganism because he felt it ultimately wasn't a healthy diet.

Thank you Witek and FirstGarden for your positive and encoraging messages. I am a christian and Raw Foodist. You both make very good points. I have had a question on rather people in the bible were Raw Foodists or not and I found that they are not but FirstGarden is right by saying that the food they ate back then was pure and wasn't contaminated. In this day it is way more healthy to eat Raw.
