To Eat or Not to Eat

Food and the lack thereof is very emotional for people. I've been curious about these new Calorie Restriction for Optimal Nutrition people and this article is a nice summary and introduction. Personally, I feel a bit sad for people who are afraid of dying, which appears to be the predominant motivating factor for CRONies. I'm also a bit apalled that people who want to live forever rely on meat and dairy, but that's just me. There's a bit of an overlap of CRONies and vegans and I'm looking for their recipes and anything that simplifies life. I'm always interested in cults and this has some cult features that should be watched. Why live forever with an enslaved mind?
