I agree.

Going raw is entirely optional. It's something I have done off and on and feel very drawn to, but I'm certainly not suggesting that it's in any way necessary.
The reason I personally feel attracted to a raw vegetarian (not necessarily vegan) LIVEit is because I consider it the most sattvic, the highest vibrationally, and because of the heightened awareness and increased energy and vitality.
Some raw vegetarians toss raw free-range eggs into their morning smoothie. Nutritionally, that seems like a fabulous idea. I'm not sure if it's something I can bring myself to do, but that's probably just mental conditioning. Provided the eggs truly are free-range there's really no reason not to. (Never eat conventionally produced eggs raw - could have salmonella.)
My main objective in posting this info about vegan and raw vegan athletes, is to dispel the myth that vegans can't get enough protein. If even raw vegans can build huge muscle bulk, then getting enough protein on a vegetarian (with eggs and/or dairy) diet is ridiculously easy.
