I got an email tonight from a “concerned” friend who was basically pleading with me to reconsider my raw food diet. Let’s not even mention how this is none of her business, shall we… I was pissed for a while, but now, as I’ve been thinking through my response, I’ve been forced to consider my commitment to the conviction that a raw vegan diet is the best diet for optimal health. If I really believe this, then I need to start living it. Right here. Right now. That’s just the bottom line.
Of course, this is the opposite effect that my friend has intended, to be sure, but I don’t really care. I know what I’m doing. I know what I’m talking about. I feel confident that this is the right choice for me. She’s pushed me over the edge. Instead of telling her to mind her own business, I should thank her for being the impetus to really take the plunge and just go raw.
