The first time someone told me about this "living foods" thing, I thought it
was a joke. For anyone who doesn't know, the "living foods" philosophy is
more extreme than veganism. It promotes avoiding fruits and vegetables which
can be consumed only by killing the plant itself. For example, eating an
apple, which is picked off the tree and leaves the tree itself intact is
okay, but eating a potato, which involves uprooting (and thereby killing)
the plant to get the potato is a no-no. You're entitled to endorse this
crazy nonsense if you wish, but from where I stand, this "living foods"
thing has got to be one of the most ridiculous philosophies I have ever
heard, and I'm also not sure how it's on topic for a cat health and behavior
newsgroup.

Thanks for the information Cindy..
I can't believe that anyone would go that far to avoid eating
something that is necessary for a good rounded diet..!

I have no idea what it has to do with cats either, however, I am
grateful that someone explained what it all meant, because I couldn't
make head nor tail of what it all meant (please excuse the non
intended pun)

Well, the OP only advertised the festival, never explained the philosophy.
The reason I am familiar with the philosophy is because we have some friends
who were vacationing in Arizona (location of the festival) last year, and
they stumbled upon this "living foods" restaurant, and they went into the
restaurant and asked "what is that?" and this is what they were told. When
our friends first told us about it, I thought they were teasing us, trying
to see how gullible we were, but they insisted it was quite true. At any
rate, the spam about the festival was posted to 28 different newsgroups as
of last night (I checked google).

I would have laughed my a.s off, thinking it was a joke.

I wish these idiots going would figure out that Usenet posters go out of
their way to AVOID patronizing any organization who spams the groups.
