I also like that following part a lot, I percieve them similarly as you. Apparently fanatism is what makes quite a few people tick:
"Almost invariably, if you push a raw foodist on their logic you will find that underlying a seemingly scientific facade is lurking some sort of quasi-religious fervor and a fundamentalist mindset that refuses to acknowledge shades of gray. A true scientist would calmly explain the facts to you, and not become offended if you questioned said facts and/or produced counterevidence. Try to keep in mind that raving testimonials are nice, but have no bearing in a scientific discussion. Also the fact that one or two dudes happen to have built abs of steel on a raw food diet does NOT mean that it is right for everybody."
By the way it is good to see you back, @ndy! haven't seen you around for quite some time.
