"Do I get paid when people go there? Yes. What’s wrong with that?"
I've been trying to think less in terms of absolute right and wrong, lately, but I'm usually a bit wary of profiting on telling people to do things they don't need and that might actually be harmful to them, you know?
It's a semi-dishonesty that kind of sours the relationship.
I live in a town where one of the biggest employers is a betting corporation, and at school we were several people who declined working with this corporation for ethical reasons. One of us had worked with poverty outreach, and had met enough people who've lost their houses and families to gambling to ever want to work for a place like that. As for me, just the fact that they market their game with "you can be a winner", "you can win thousands" felt so dishonest, because the house wins the lottery every week.
Working for the lottery corporation just didn't feel like a worthwhile endeavor.
Personally, and I'm speaking strictly for myself, I feel less like a leech when I'm on welfare than if I were working for a gambling or marketing corporation, or if I were in production of something that still would end up on the dump (we're throwing away so many unsold goods! that's market forces for you).
I might not contribute to society in any way that counts in the eyes of The Man, (although I do try to help out my friends as much as I can,) but at least I'm not actively harming society, our planet or other people.
As for The Skinny Snob, the way its marketed right now really makes lowers the credibility of both it and its author; I'm sure the thought has crossed more minds than mine that you didn't actually write it. Your link to it is not an explicit referral URI, as many other sites that market this books similarly has, but maybe (I occasionally, but not always, think) you have some other deal with them -- maybe as simple as them checking their logs for the referral. Or maybe you're behind the entire operation.
If you believe that raw foods are the healthiest (personally, I'm more of a grains and beans kind of vegan, but I've been eating a lot of fruit as I've been transitioning to polyphasic) then tell people that! Some will listen.
Just like when I tell people about what I subjectively perceive as horrible flaws in our society's current model for dividing/distributing tasks and resources, many people will just believe that I'm some sort of "smug, naive commie", especially since it's a topic I like to talk about without irony, and people are used to irony when it comes to that matter. But some will listen.
