What's my incentive to help when you frequently insult me and don't even try to understand what I say? It's kind of like punching someone in the gut while asking him why he doesn't do more to help and then covering your ears when he tries to answer. I help my family, friends and those who treat me with respect. For example, I provided some info to Dorothy and Tsurugi at the GITMR forum because they are very friendly and asked nicely, and because Dorothy's mother has a very serious health issue that she had asked for help with. Maybe if you were friendlier and more respectful with people they might help more? It seems worth a try.
Besides, I know the raw aspect of the diet has been the crucial aspect for you, but for me it's so far been more like it has been for Lex--a small though helpful part of the benefit--whereas the Paleo and carnivore aspects have been much more helpful. You seem to find that hard to believe when anyone reports that, but for me it's also true so far. I suppose if I were to sign up onto Wikipedia and engage in the diet wars there I should contribute first and foremost to a Paleo or carnivore entry rather than a raw entry.
It's probably futile anyway, as the vegan, vegetarian and PETA extremists tend to be committed fanatics who will do anything to prevent the truth about the benefits of meat getting out and probably will just delete anything positive we might post about meats. Have you heard how they censored out info from Denise Minger, Dr. Eades and others on the China Study Wikipedia entry? Wikipedia appears to be run by those who are willing to put the most time into it, which tends to mean the most committed fanatics (and perhaps some well-paid minions).
I do understand, that's the trouble.
Whatever the case, the raw foodism wikipedia page isn't actually "my" page. It is a public resource and the idea is that raw foodists should contribute as a community so as to avoid misleading info fooling newbies to RVAF diets. So far, apart from 1 other RVAFer(who is now usually absent from rawpaleoforum these days due to other commitments), the only help I have had is from various raw vegan members. If some raw vegans can back me up re deletions of biased, anti-raw/pro-cooking stuff and useful input (of admittedly pro-raw vegan scientific studies) etc. etc., then that is an interesting contrast to those RVAFers who don't want to help.
If you feel like contributing instead to the cooked, palaeolithic diet page, feel free to do so. I have already put in some sentences on that page,mentioning RVAFers as well as deleting some biased stuff and inserting a rather interesting rebuttal by Cordain to a recent claim re the grain-consumption a 100,000 years ago article.
As for the raw and palaeo aspects, while the raw aspect was and is indeed more important for me re health, the palaeo aspect was also vital as if I had continued to opt for raw dairy or go in for 100 percent raw vegan/fruitarian diets, I could not have healed properly. And besides, one of the main reasons for rawpaleoforum being set up was because I thought there was too much of an anti-palaeo bias in other RVAF diet forums.
(In case people are worried re this taking up too much of their free time, don't worry. The key re wikipedia is interpreting the rules in one's favour(not difficult as the pro-cooked faction have so few solid references backing up their claims in contrast to the more solid pro-raw refs); and also it's a case of strength in numbers. So, all you really have to do is check the raw foodism page each once a month or so(if there are 10 or more RVAFers involved), and perhaps revert deletions then etc., and to turn up in the discussions section of the raw foodism page to back the pro-raw side when an argument comes up and I mention it here.Judging from past events, major discussions of that sort only turn up something like once or twice a year. The raw foodism wikipedia page is not a very popular article, being considered somewhat obscure, so it's worth a little effort, IMO.
OK, I'm now posting some comments on the raw veganism discussions page as there is some dodgy pro-cooking info there re Wrangham. I am Loki0115 over there.
