Good points Monique.
I believe the common link is this: the vegetarian/vegan diet includes highly refined sugars and starches, trans fats, a high percentage of grains, destructive and toxic preparation methods, toxic food substitutes (aspartame, saccharin, etc.), and artificial fortification of "vitamins and minerals" just like the Standard American Diet.
Neither the raw diet nor the eskimo diet has these shortcomings. I'm sure they didn't eat their blubber with a side of high-fructose corn syrup or potato chips cooked in hydrogenated vegetable oil, for example, and neither does Steve with his avocado smoothies.
