I get the impression you have the potential to act as a wonderful representative of the diet to the youth of today. At 38 and after 10 years of eating this way, I'm obviously over the hill as I still prefer to read!
But, you're probably right that the majority of younger adults and youths do refer to the internet for their information (for better or worse?!). In this respect, it's important that the diet is represented in a medium to which they can relate and are exposed. I do think it's important that you're 'time served' with this WOE before going ahead with such projects, however. I think this would not only enhance your knowledge, deep understanding and ability to teach but would also improve your own credentials. Perhaps it could even be a project you collaborate on with others from the forum?
I would love to collaborate on projects! I myself have not been in this diet for long so it is still an exciting learning process for me...
I have tried many diets however, cooked paleo, Atkins, vegetarian, frutarian, Wai, 'healthy'-SAD. I find adding cooked food to the diets (except for a rare treat) is what makes people revert to their SAD ways...even when I was on SAD I always tried to do the healthier version of it but it was very hard. Also besides some minor acne I had no health problems to cure but still kept trying different ways of eating because I knew something was wrong, it felt wrong...And now I know - that raw paleo is the diet for HUMANS, and that I will stick with this forever!! I have absolutely no willpower I like to do what I want and this seems to be the easiest thing and what I want, that alone shows its THE diet. Yes one day I may not want to eat vegetable anymore, or want to eat more fats, or LC blah blah, as long as its raw paleo! I have yet to find the best raw paleo combo for me...so far it seems mostly meat and seafood, fruits in season IN MY AREA (berries, apples...), some veggies here and there, and an occasional treat of either dairy or nuts. I do think the raw paleo combo that works best for one depends on A) where they live B) existing health problems C) genetics AND nationality (and this is NOT meant be racist I hope you agree) and D) your age!
I am web and graphics designer as well, hence why I like to stick to computers and Internet more then books...I love books, but I have been working with computers all my life and it's also all I do for a living. Let me tell you many young people these days turn to computers to find the answers, there is much false info, also much good info and I think we should add to the bucket of good info on the net. Besides reading online saves paper you can't argue with that heh heh just jokin

I am busy with work at the moment but my work schedule is so random...as soon as I get something coherent going on this I will make sure to update everyone on here if they are curious or if they want to collaborate in some way.
Everyone seems to see this diet as weird, dangerous or just nuts...but I think and hope this will change with time.
Michael:
