stubborn - Did you use colon hydrotherapy when you following norman?
As for perlot, he recommends raw fruits and vegetables. But, probably 70-80% of his intake are raw fruits. His vegis consist usually of light leafy greens that don't need to be cooked topped with fruity sauces. And, I am not recommending his diet, but he is correct on one of the points raised against me(juicing). And, colon cleansing is related, so it is relevant. That is why I linked him.
marlemar - Most people don't eat salad without adding all sorts of fat oily sauces to in it order to get it down. It really cancels out the health effect, and probably does the opposite for health. Fat is not a food for health and healing. And, that was the context of my post(healing).
Light greens really are not that nutritional anyways. And, they do not taste good by themselves at all. They are a minority when it comes to the vegetable category. They are something that I would probably eat raw with the right additions, but for the sake of simplicity, I absolutely recommend and word it as I have. Because, the majority of "vegetables" either must or should be well cooked. And, I have cooked lettuce, and I recall it being better and edible by itself. There is also a whole other category of vegetables too that contain starch. And, they absolutely have to be cooked. All of those vegetables that either should or must be cooked taste so much better than raw lettuce. That is important. Because, people don't eat enough of them, and it is a result of the taste.
