First off, thank you for clearing everything up. I'm glad nothing got ugly and we can all get along.
To answer some of your questions... yes, I believe the interview, but no, I don't plan on trying this any time soon. I'm still new to raw, and I'd like to explore that for a while longer and see where it takes me. I feel that I'd need to be in a much more advanced mental/spiritual state before I'd ever even consider phasing out food. That is one of the reasons I felt so many failed, they thought it was a good idea but weren't mentally prepared.
I understand your views on the ego and your own ego, and I must say that I do not subscibe to any religious belief. Rather, I try to educate myself about as many religions as possible and take from each one a few messages that I feel to be true. That being said, I've found that the loss of the ego as prescribed by some eastern religions is an excellent way to live. I don't feel that I, or my life, is of any importance. I wish to make others happy instead of myself. I feel that the ego is contrary to these truths that I hold.
And about the fear thing.. you got it right in the first paragraph, we agree. I was assuming that you don't want innocent people to starve themselves, and that that was what you feared most.. innocence decieved by manipulation.
I'm sorry if I missed any of your questions, but it was a lot to read and comprehend. I feel that we have reached an understanding and that there has been no love lost. I hope to have many more sporting debates with you in the future. I agree that this community is awesome to have, and can't wait to meet some more members. Until then, I will keep eating (raw) food and readying my mind for future starvation. haha
-Mike
