"Good place to start the discussion, and humans are genetically wired as pair bonding mammals. We are also 'wired' to be very social. Historically we have always lived in large groups - from the size of an extended family all the way to a…"

"Libertarianism is a philosophy in principle. It CAN be applied to political theory, but probably shouldn't be used as a political platform in and of itself. People hail Capitalism and insult Socialism. Or they despise both and cheerlead for…"

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: Hello =) So - I consider myself always the student, because there are always new things to learn. I'm also a student pursuing a degree in Physical Sciences. Insomniac information junkie with Asperger's describes me pretty well.

I also grew up with a laundry list of physiological problems. Too many to list. I was prescribed pharmaceuticals galore, for too many years. Nasty business that was. Nobody ever even SUGGESTED that diet might play a role. Went vegan around 2006. Profound improvement in every aspect of life, as many can relate.

It really set me on a path towards constantly trying to improve myself. Physically, mentally, spiritually. Although it tends to make relating to other people more difficult, the rewards have been worth it. Especially when you find out that you've inspired someone you know to likewise seek some form of self-improvement.

I found out fruitarians exist around Dec 2011 by stumbling upon some Tony Wright videos. Then I soon found DR's YouTube channel, and it all went bananas from there.

Oh, I'm a total nature freak too. I get a stupid grin on my face thinking about wandering through the jungle-like woods of southern Ohio as a kid, swinging 40 feet on natural vines...
