What I meant about science is that science as a method of proving is not faulty, it's always the people carrying it out that will represent the actual fault due to bias or assumed outcomes. Science to me is fairly binary, it either is, or it isn't. I've not thought this argument through entirely so there might be some obvious flaws with it ;-) Thanks mate!

That sounds cool. I'll try and make updates as often as I can, but also not too often. There need to be something of value to present add... Looking forward seeing you guys soon! :-) Excellent.

I don't necessarily think that a raw vegan diet is only for loosing weight though. And I'm not entirely convinced about this whole calorie intake business. I have yet to find a study, or authoritative source, that details exactly how one would determine the amount of calories necessary to maintain energy levels. I've read some sources that claim that raw food will require less food since it's calories are not empty and actually provide "clean" food. Again, I'm not entirely convinced about the "clean" food aspect, but I can certainly logically agree with that raw food is richer since it's closer to a natural state and should hence be more nutritionally rich than their cooked counterpart.

That means a lot of vegetables. Which is fine for me because I like them. Eating low calorie food has helped me lose a lot of weight. That means a lot of vegetables.

I will follow with interest, to see what information you find in support of a raw vegan diet, although like you, I am probably biased. I also like to think of myself as being very well informed, however alot of my knowledge is based on reasearch i did at the time i went vegan, some 13yrs ago now. I haven't been vigilant in updating my knowledge, certainly to the extent of verifying the source of any new information I may hear on the vegan 'grapevine'. I would also like to pass comment on your statement regarding 'science', you are right that most people show bias and that science should be factual. However, the way science/testing is carried out, reported and the way the resulting statistics are calculated can be biased. The bias often comes from the sponser of such information, this bias also extends to which science papers ever make the public domain. This of course is true for both sides of each argument. As they say 'There are lies, damn lies and statistics'. Good luck with your challenge and I look forward to reading the inormation you post.
