Usually I wouldn't spend time to such biased stuff, but she tries to give credit where credits due, so I'll give my take to the areas where I disagree drastically
Its ironic how much this article acknowledges the physical benefits of the diet, criticising it mostly for the un-natural aspects - many of which are unique to Primal - like juicing - which also ironically are promoted by her as viable non hypocritical therapies in the vegan diet. She suggestes one has to avoid the act of eating meat FOR HEALTH ( why not when one can be perfectly unhealthy not eating meat ) specifically to avoid the spiritual hypocrisy associated with not eating animals out of pure instinct of which we are removed (of which she agrees is at least part of our natural diet). The solution of course is to eat more "avocados, more coconut butter, and olives, cacao butter, flax seeds and oil, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts" none of which resembles what would be gathered in nature, however its perfectly fine to criticise massive quantities of butter or juice amongst meat eaters and of course buying meat from a market.
"It is also trying to give yourself your own life without God's help"
"you get jacked up with flesh enzymes, but flesh does not contain the other life force that plants contain like phytonutrients and minerals. You are however, instead of consuming extra life force and energy from the sun"
The other irony is the typical hodgepodge of spiritual cannon fodder used by vegans culled from the most ignorant interpretation of everything spiritual from christian dogma to sun worship and Einstein as well as very streamlined and inaccurate interpretations of karma. These notions have absolutely nothing to do with the spirituality that existed before all the harmful practices associated with civilization even by raw vegans.
http://www.rawpaleoforum.com/spirituality/raw-veganism-mainstream-how-to-popularize-raw-meat-raw-fat-eating/msg53554/#msg53554this is an issue I'm particularly interested in of course. Ive come to some pretty devastating conclusions myself about the fascination with 'lightness' and physical and 'ethical' "purity" on such unnatural and non-savage diets, these being mainly a fascination with early death and pain and egolessness/weakness as part of actually fulfilling some kind of guilt or past injustice/karma.
The same people who often quote the law of attraction seem to associate alot of negativity towards those who actually rely on more than 'god' and their inherited lot in life (karma)to make their life better.
also notice how terms like "jacked" or "pumped" are often used with animal products even when cited as natural.
Inmy opinion theres nothing wrong with having a "healthy ego", as long as its a
healthy ego.
"Its nice to be beautiful and sexually attractive again, as well as to have your health back"
here I agree!
