Below is what I said in reply to somebody asking about Fred Patenaude and (among other things) saying "I get this sense that he's selling a lot of products." (You can see this statement by the op quoted in my reply.)

Can you tell me where I'm being rude?
Do you see any name-calling or other insults in my post?

Just as I don't have a reason to insult the Patenaudes I also don't have a reason to make anything up about them. I'm repeating and summarising things they have said. Just as I indicated in my post, everything I said can be backed up.

About Frederics's sad loss you can read on his blog: http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/blog/?p=1929.
Scroll down and you'll find this paragraph:

"If you’d like to support me, do the right thing and introduce the message of health to someone you know. Maybe they would like some our [sic] our books on a healthy lifestyle at [here follows a link to his products]."

Why would I make that up?

Here my whole post:

"The facts speak for themselves…
I’m going to this or that place – buy my product!
I’m getting married – buy my product!
My dad died – buy my product! (Hard to believe, I know.)

“I get this sense that he’s selling a lot of products.”
Yup.

He’s not 811 btw. He thinks we need more fat (15% if I remember correctly), and that steaming vegetables is a great way to make himself eat more of them. And he is relaxed about eating animal products and other cooked food if it’s pleasurable or if he’s ‘forced’ to by circumstances.

On their forum his wife Veronica stresses you can’t get the necessary essential fatty acids without nuts and seeds, and among other things implies a 100% raw diet would not be optimal and would even be dangerous if solely made up of fruit and greens (which Doug Graham btw says is no problem at all). She also describes her flawed fasting experience under supervision of her husband (and blames the problem she experienced refeeding on eating fruit instead of cooked vegetables).

All of this can be read on their blogs and forum.

On another thread I’ve quoted Veronica extensively. There you can read some of the above mentioned beliefs in her own words."
