Espurr,
I appreciate and respect you opinion and helpfulness.
Perhaps every body is different and every body changes.
I am confused by how you could know what my ancestors natural choice or instinct was.
My instincts actually clearly direct me to consume animal foods and not abiding in that instinct for 20 years caused me health problems. Nearly all of the problems went away when i honored my instinct and started eating animal foods when my body calls out for them. I had zero health problems prior to going into vegetarian and vegan diet experiments.
If we look at all known living pre-agricultural tribes and those that have been recorded in the past by explorers, they all eat a meat based diet usually with honey, wild tubers, and seasonal fruits, nuts, and seeds . Nuts and seeds are very seasonal and require storage. Fruits are very seasonal as well. What fruit is available is hard to get when competing with all the other animals that can get up in the trees more easily. The hunting of animals proves to be the one thing that can go on year-round as long as humans live in balance with the ecosystem. Of course, cutting down the forest and starting agriculture changed everything (environmental destruction, overpopulation, ownership concepts, ect.).
I tried nearly every variation of vegetarian and vegan raw and non-raw diets extensively for years. I did not only try a high fruit way of eating and experimented for years with the type of diet that you happen recommend as well the very common style of cooked legume and grain with veggies diet with factory produced b12 pills. I found it all proved unhealthy for me. But definitely the high fruit diet did more damage than the others. If a vegan diet works great for you long term, i think that is wonderful. Seems everyone is different. I do, however, know personally loads of people that failed on vegan diets in the long term.
I have not found success in concepts (dogma, belief, or even knowledge), but instead by abiding spontaneously in natural sensory instinct and heart intuition. This is what Aya, Soma, and Manna, have taught me. Just like channeling an icaro. The plant and mushroom medicine experiences have actually been unteachings/unlearnings into pristine awareness rather than a learning or accumulation concepts (belief/knowledge). La Purga
It has taken me awhile though to let go of many mental attachments to conceptual ideals, fantasy, and assumptions. My attachment to romantic/idealistic dietary concepts was a hard tension to break down. I am no longer thinking/believing in a way my mind prefers but instead being. It has always been the clinging to mental concepts that has caused suffering to this body and mind. I feel that the vegan and vegetarian dieting was actually a response to the trauma of growing up in a disconnected society and my return to non-conceptual being with instinctual nourishment of my body a healing and release of that trauma.
