Hi everyone, I’m currently navigating some pushback from family regarding my 80/10/10 lifestyle. The main concern raised is the environmental impact of shipping tropical fruits into the UK, specifically the carbon footprint compared to eating locally grown, cooked foods. I’m committed to this path, but I also want to be mindful of my environmental footprint. I’ve started exploring ways to source more fruit locally, focusing on UK-grown staples like apples and pears to bridge that gap. I know many of you have faced similar scepticism from friends or family. How do you handle these conversations? Do you have any tips for staying true to the diet while also addressing valid concerns about sustainability? [ @Doug Graham] – I’ve seen your previous posts about the social dynamics of this lifestyle and would love to hear your perspective on navigating these family "friction points" with grace. Looking forward to hearing how you’ve all managed these situations!' P.S. from my memory in Doug's health book - he had quotes, probably more than 1 saying writing about environmental reasons to follow a raw diet , and how to handle people against it, could readers (you )please help me find these quotes in the comments?

Should we eat raw corn? It's tasty and satiating, but is it too hard to digest?

Hi all Just wondering if those of you based in the UK are aware that Dr Doug will be in attendance of the Welsh Fruit Festival!
