I was using "hippy-dippy" as shorthand for muddle-headed mysticism with no visible means of support, as I think my examples made clear. Your reference to raw meat as the "PUREST FORM" was, to my ear, in that ball-park.
You can of course be as far-right as you like, but it doesn't stop you being wrong on this issue, nor does it make you immune to the mystical mythical appeal of "natural".
Fair enough. And you may perform your psych-dissection of a simple word all you like. But THAT my friend....doesn't make your statements any more clear or applicable.
