I don't think it is so wise and peaceful if you focus too much on diet.
I am vegetarian but I recognize that we should never impose or even recommend a diet to another. That is a clear infringement of the other free will. That is not an attitude of love.
I accept the world as it is, in love and peace.
I do my very best with love for the environment.
I don't follow any diet rules, I just follow my own body feelings and intuition, not any rational or mind-created rules.
Therefore, I have came to a mostly organic ovo-lacto-vegetarian (with ocasional fish) type of eating. But I eat an icescream if I feel or a chocolate.
Of course I ate the taste and smell of meat but I happily live with my housemates that cook meat. And they happily eat our vegetarian food too.
I have stop eating meat 6 years ago and I am perfectly healthy. I was vegan for 1 year a few years ago but I did not work for me, I was losing vitality, so I eat daily diary and once in a while eggs. I try to eat to about 40% raw (I think only until 60% raw would work fine for me).
Again percentages are a self-imposed thing that is not very positive from my perspective
I support the vegan and raw causes (even if they dont work for me), but only if not in imposing ideas on others (as many are) and in a spirit of peace and acceptance. I am sorry to have said this, but I do really think they is both much ignorance, refusal and blindness by meat-eating people, and much extremism by vegetarians, rawists and vegans. Kind of religion versus science thing. Defintively not the best way to go.
May love prevail.
