Off the top of the subject too. The subject had morphed into how
Koreans don't eat raw food.  They may eat less than most of the rest of
the world. India may eat less than the rest of the world.  "Less" and
the "rest of the world" doesn't mean anything.

Here's what means something: Koreans and the vast limitation of their
dining habits, or those of the Indians or Zuni aren't summed in two or
three barks of vague over-generalization here or elsewhere.  Their
diets were more restricted 100 or 500 years ago.  Far less so now that
they all buy canned and bottled foods from everywhere with
who-knows-what in it.

My only complaint is with the endless over-simplified (and flase)
pronouncements made on usenet.  

Carry on.
