Raw Food hypocrite's and middle paths.

Last night, after a day of eating greens and fruits, my mother called up to me from the kitchen and asked "Emmy, don't you want to eat something?" by which she meant, she wanted to prepare something and sit with us and eat a meal. I said, Yes! And i went downstairs and she prepared this. Delicious, healthy, pretty. Egg, bread, veggie patti, avocado, salad greens, fresh oversized deliciously sweet tomato.

I ate bread with olive oil butter on it, and it was yummy. I really appreciated it. Earlier in the evening I had guiltily been munching on nuts, thinking about its 70% fat content (first world problems lol) and how it wasn't going to give me energy. But then i read a blog by the "raw food hypocrite" which i greatly appreciate. Because proponents of raw food, especially the best known in the raw food world, say 80 to 100% raw food, and there is a sort of hierarchical better-than-thou attitude that can permeate the raw foodies.

But who am i kidding? I can't be dogmatic about what i eat! Not only is that ridiculous, its ungrateful, nearsighted, narrow minded, and a whole other attributes that i do not want to become. Even as a vegetarian, i was very well known to be flexible, culinarily adventurous, taking bites out of sausage and steaks to know what it felt like, to know what it tasted like, and to keep a social balance. Perhaps its reactionary against vegangelicals, but By Itself, i think moderate middle-paths are a worthy pursuit.
