well first we need to define, "undebatable hatrackers"
Is it anyone with a screen name? Is it someone who knows they are a jatraquero? Is it someone ragingly incoherent or someone overwhelmingly logical?

Are you itching to get ANOTHER thread deleted,. Scott? oh wait. You're the type that could get every thread and post deleted for a year and not even notice.

Since steven decided to poke his head up in another thread, I'll take another stab at this.
steven, why did you refuse to modify either your existing posts or even your posting style in future posts when it was pointed out how insulting you were being, yet once someone ridiculed you for those same posts you decided to delete them?

Nope. I'm trying to hold you to the lowest possible standard, which, unfortunately, seems to be out of your reach.

Well, eslaine, not to be picky, but seems to me that means you just didn't see it. Sounds like you didn't really miss it at all. Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

It must be Fried-day. I just got a really disgusting visual of a giant bird nest. A stand-up comic was feeding her open-mouthed younglings regurgitated jokes. Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

More seriously, I've taught my kid to respond to folk who are incoherently viturperative by smiling, shrugging, and saying, "Well, I can't argue with THAT."
Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.

I'm a little sorry I followed that link. I have plenty of friends who've read Dr. Price's book. Of the lot of you, none have read the book, and none agree. Of the group of people I know who've read the book, nearly all agree with his conclusions.

There are two conclusions you can draw from that, steven. One is that Price's book is so compelling that those who read it cannot help but be convinced; the other is that those who already share a belief in his conclusions are more likely to read his book to have their beliefs reinforced. Neither conclusion actually speaks to the validity of his claims.

That most of us aren't going to give much of anything you say any type of serious consideration, based on your previous faulty logic and poor manners. At least not while you seem to not understand how poorly you behaved earlier, in other threads.

Tom--I was a 100% raw vegetarian when I read that book. Price's work shows that cooking food, while not the best thing you can do, isn't AUTOMATICALLY poisoning it (except for dairy foods, which were basically never cooked by any straight-tooth tribes). Not only that, I've had to face the fact that meat is not (when it's of good quality) the worst poison on the planet, necessarily. I wasn't particularly open to Price's pro-meat, cooked-is-almost-as-good-as-raw agenda. Nevertheless, I have had to open my mind in that regard.
Not only that, my best friend, a prety staunch vegetarian, had to admit that Price was right. He's no fool, himself. He went to grad school at Viriginia Tech, and knows shoddy research. His aunt, another highly intelligent person with a grad school diploma, also agrees with Price after reading the book. None of these people particularly were in line with Price's ideas before encountering the book.
All I have to say is this--every Guaymi Indian I met in Costa Rica had perfect teeth, excellent physical structure, and was very strong and flexible, and could work hard all day with no problem. However, plenty of people I grew up with had crooked teeth, flat cheekbones, and general poor health. The Guaymi are a lot healthier, on average, than the people I grew up around. They also have no access to refined sugar, refined grains, or any other processed foods, since they live a 3-hour hike through the virgin rain forest from the nearest DIRT road.

I would be curious to learn how many people came to Price's work from the raw foods side, and how many "normal" eaters find his work revelatory. I wonder if it speaks more powerfully to the raw foods demographic.

According to this entry in Wikipedia, The word "sedimentation" is actually the settling of suspended particles. So, in that sense no, "sedimentaion" is not "just more rock," however "sediment" is just more rock. Jeez.
