Yes I remember her, a hard activist for the animalistic movement.
She influenced me a little but not much, actually now I'm making sure I'm drinking a glass of milk (organic) daily, whereas I didn't previously.
Our bodies, like Bakhtananda said, may not be ready for a vegan or fruitarian diet. Mine sure isn't.
After our discussions on cyanocobalamin, vitamins and minerals I decided some natural cyanocobalamin should be part of my diet.
I'm also eating chickpeas to ensure ingestion of some natural iron. It is reasonable to think that natural nutrients are better then the ones contained in supplements.
I believe we r influenced more by people who stay around a bit. Otherwise they r a bit like a flash in the pan. Very Brite... then fizzle out.
