You are an arrogant presumptuous ass! As usual ypu grab a line and
make all kinds of assumptions about a posters life style, awareness,
and commitments.

Most "raw food" practicianers eat no meat, no fish, nor ANY animal
products. All of our food comes from known sustainable farms where a
fair price is paid to the grower. White sugar and processed food is
not acceptable nor is cocao.

Duck indeed. It would take an infantile mind to believe that because it is
"raw food" it isn't harvested by the same undocumented & heavily
unexploited underclass of itinerant workers, of which I was one from age 4
through 6. Even the smallest organic orchards use such labor. If you think
you're living outside the system, all you're really doing is living
outside of a credible reasoning ability.

Support unions, not growers & industry-defined categories such as "raw"
"organic" or "sustainable." You're just being manipulated by nice slogans,
while all farmworker gains from the 1970s & 1980s have been more than
whittled away since the 1990s.
