You share your experiences but you also emphasize that each person needs to check in with themselves and do what feels most comfortable and also how we need to support others' decisions even if they differ from our own. I really appreciate that accepting outlook. Imagine how different the world would be if we all practiced "live and let live" (along with self-honoring and not self-punishing). The other thing you really said that struck me was deciding to eat raw foods if you ever faced an illness, and then thought well, why wait until then? That's exactly how I always thought ("I'll dive more into this as my health dictates") -- why not start now? You've really inspired me to do more, and do so now. One other thing. What you said about the difficulty of change, yes -- altering diet has to be one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do. But you are so right -- it's harder for me to get cut open/etc. too, I'd much rather prevent issues than cure them. Thank you, thank you, for this insightful post.
