You must really be the devil. If you read your post count upside down it's 666!

Ken: I don't eat raw meat. I like beef, like say a steak, bloody, but cooked enough to see the grain. I think raw food is the way to go...it's just not as far as I want to go (with meat). Two things I'd like to reiterate:
1. Rachel's response didn't match what I read in the book. I go by the book.
2. In my experience, a person eating according to their type doesn't have/evolves out of desires for junk food, their palette changes*, and they don't snack unless they happen to be very very active...and, even then, they tend to want food sources that will nutrify and enduringly power them. The right kind of intake will balance one's body. (This is sorta what DS is saying, though a little more sophisticated.) But, further, eating high-quality treats - which I don't even think of them as such by definition - just contributes to one's health.
3. (this is supplemental) vegetarianism and veganism can work for some. Thematically, though, if the reason for doing so has any length of foot in the 'mercy for animals' sand box, whoever's doing it has NO business doing it. I know a girl whose father was a typical anti-authoritarian, yet was ULTRA controlling in his household, and vegetarianism was one of his psychological hot buttons. To this day, she is convinced that 'mercy for animals' is a reason to be veg/vegan. But it's not. It's a reason for having better raising and processing conditions. Recently, she and I got into a brief email discussion on this. I told her, 'do the existence of GM crops make anti-GM activists tell everyone they MUST ONLY eat meat? She won't receive my email, anymore. (heheheh)
*I have some distinct advantages over many people, I think. One is I'm naturally fairly slender. Others are both environmental and genetic. We didn't have lots of money for treats an all, but my parents let me eat what I liked, as long as I ate dinner - which, except for vegetables, I ALWAYS ate dinner cos I was hungry for food...I just usually had stomach for dessert, too. My parents weren't much of drinkers, but they let me have a beer or two at grown-up parties, etc. I've never been much of a drinker, though. They drank coffee and let me drink it; by the time I was seven or eight, I was making my own as often as I wished. Quit drinking it about 15 years ago, though.
They did smoke, but I was the last one to take it up (mostly from the crowd I hung out with...I always liked a good dip of Red Man or Levi Garrett, better) and quit after five years. Haven't had a dip but a couple/few times in about as long. My parents did have their food issues. My dad has a sweet tooth. Go to the local, family-owned ice cream shop and he ALWAYS gets a butterscotch sunday with marshmallow (this stuff is thick) toping. My mom ate chocolate, particularly M&Ms. As a kid, I'd mac chocolate and candy bars. If there weren't any treats in the house, I'd go for the sugar (another favorite of my dad's - coffee with your sugar?) bowl and a spoon! And I hated vegetables. I'll just say I had excretory problems as a kid and adolescent, to go with whatever emotional issues that invoked the sweet cravings. (Never got fat, though...we almost didn't have fat kids in school till I got to high school!...everyone PLAYED OUTSIDE most of the time.)
But for years I haven't liked sugar like that. The last several years, I love all kinds of vegies, raw.

You know, one time I was on the way to pick up my girlfriend of the time from work. I happened to be eating some tuna in sunflower oil, when I happened upon a crushed cat in the road. See, the traffic had stopped, and almost right next to my car, there was this crushed cat, brains and guts all over the place. Well, having such an opportunity, I had to look. And I had a good long look - in-between mouthfuls of tuna. The traffic next to me then moved up and the guys in a truck passing sure gave me an odd look.

Well I wondered what this was all about so I just saw a Matt Furey exercise video. That was just hilarious. Apart from the amateur video work and the amount of BS about combat in it, the guy could hardly even do his own stupid exercises. So that says to me he doesn't use them himself. He did 3 Hindu pushups and he was completely out of breath (while he claims he normally does at least 100). He did one of those handstand pushups and almost fell off the chairs. So he quit after one push up. Pfffft.
I guess if his is the only book (or rather 3 exercise pamphlet) you ever read then it might make an impression on you, but for the rest of us ...
