on the site sad denotes standard american diet a sad diet indeed and its equivalent swd signifies standard western diet veg n with an asterisk is shorthand for vegan and or vegetarian why beyond veg was created somebody finally had to the material presented on this site comes from individuals with years of hard won experience either practicing alternative diets or observing those who do as you ll find no two writers will necessarily agree on all topics a unifying theme however is the intent to squarely acknowledge and discuss the sometimes serious problems that can occur on alternative diets but often go unreported and to go beyond the simplistic dogmas readily available elsewhere in fact almost everywhere to explain them away a sense of admirable idealism is often a motivating factor encouraging people to take responsibility for their own health and to explore different diets however the development of emotional attachments to philosophies underlying such diets can often end up becoming far more important for some individuals than the results they obtain or fail to one result has been widespread refusal in the alternative diet community to face health and behavioral problems that may arise on these diets a common thread in what you ll read here is that a kind of subjective blinded naturalism has become more or less endemic in the vegetarian raw food and alternative diet movements which can lead to serious health troubles we hope the range of views presented here will encourage perhaps even force you to think for yourself and go beyond the need for reliance on any single authority in evaluating the worth and workability of a diet especially if you have experienced problems yourself you will know how crucial it is to remove the proverbial rose colored glasses and face the issues discussed here openly rationally and realistically have suggestions or something to contribute although our time for email discussions is limited we are interested in hearing your reactions to the material here we would particularly like to hear from you if you see article ideas or topics we have missed that you believe could use investigation we are also interested in expanding our section of case histories of people who have had significant problems on raw vegetarian vegan or other alternative or natural diets and how they solved them whether by modifying the diet in some unapproved way while remaining vegetarian or by moving on to a non vegetarian one see our dietary problems in the real world category for examples of bios if the material on this site is of particular interest to you and you are knowledgeable in science esp anthropology nutrition primatology etc and or you have relevant experience in alternative or vegan vegetarian diets and want to write for the site we invite you to contact one of the site editors to discuss use the link just below serious inquiries only please we reserve the right to ignore queries that are frivolous or otherwise inappropriate for the thrust of this site as stated just below please note that we specifically want articles that go beyond the typical party line scientific research is preferred but fair minded anecdotal evidence is acceptable in areas where no relevant research is available note to hard line types despite claims to the contrary remember that anecdotal research is sometimes used though perhaps more informally in professional nutrition and even medicine where it s referred to as case studies also the publication of anecdotal evidence is frequently responsible for uncovering areas later pursued in peer reviewed research and has its value when little formal knowledge of any kind is available as many of the topics discussed on this site have been little studied as yet in terms of rigorous research it is our belief that anecdotal evidence in these areas is worthwhile at the least to stimulate interest and uncover topics worth a further look all material that we use
