"however, i agree that most of the older raw foodists, and strict vegans, i have seen do not look healthy. they look older than their years, this is true."
Why do you suppose this is true? The reason must be that lack of certain nutrients or perhaps even an imbalance. I guess it is the lack of proteins, iron, and certain types of enzymes.
By the way, I love finallyfaith's kirlian photo of the nautilus. I tried to get a bigger shot of it on my desktop and I can't find a large photo of it.
