Thanks for sharing your story about how you came to the meetup. I feel so blessed that so many people came from all over europe. For me it was about as comfortable as it gets to attend, so I appreciate your travel efforts. As I have had some lifechanging conversations and resulting decisions in my own life in the past 6 months of listening FDR, it felt like a real coming home to meet all of you and stefan. The fact that I had the chance to go to the meetup really helped in my personal process the past month because I knew I would meet some amazing people soon that were on their own journey of self knowledge and philosophy. I wasn't really planning on talking about my own history but I'm very glad I talked about some of my recent experiences. I felt liberated last few days and also very tired. Getting appreciation and a welcoming response from the group when talking about stuff most people react very avoidantly to was very refreshing for me. The conversations we had felt like a call-in show but with all the people in a few steps reach. What struck me too were that all the 'coping-mechanisms' I have used throughout my life to deal with the culture and mythology around me was really easy to notice and I almost naturally refrained from using any of them in the company of the group. As far as the 'fruitarian question' Marius, I started eating a plantbased diet eating mostly fruits and greens a year ago now, so I thought I would add my experiences. I eat cooked tubers and grains more often than Jelle, but I did the only fruit and greens for a few months after learning about the lifestyle and I must say I have never felt better food- and fitness-wise. As Jelle points out there are lots of factors to take into account when looking at health, but I think eating mostly fruits and leafy greens is still the best dietary option for physical health long-term judging from the short term feedback I get from my body, seeing the results that others get long-term on this lifestyle and regarding the scientific nutritional data. I met Jelle thanks to eating fruits and turned out we were both listening to fdr so that has been an awesome experience too .
