I don;t believe in this diet

I don't believe in the raw diet, and even the GURU for the raw foodists Viktoras Kulvinskas wrote this:

Report from Viktoras Kulvinskas about his own problematic history. Viktoras Kulvinskas himself had a long history of eating disorders (bulimia), due, he says, to a dysfunctional childhood. Regardless of how the eating disorder may have originally begun, however, it was only after he relinquished his all-live-food regime and reintroduced some cooked foods that his eating-disorder behavior ceased. From Kulvinskas and Lahiri [1997, pp. 116-117]:

Even when I was eating only live food, I would eat huge meals that would leave me feeling bloated and fatigued. I found from experience that if all this food stayed in my stomach, it would ferment and bring on headaches and sciatic pain. So, for relief, I made myself vomit.
Eventually, vomiting became a daily practice. I fell into eating more and more cooked and junk food. The problem became more disabling, both physically and psychologically, for I was living a dual life. In public, I would give health talks and lifestyle consultations. In private, I was a junk food eater and bulimic. The hypocrisy of it all was destroying me from the inside out.
