I don't get the negative hype

Andrea - Thanks for taking a thoughtful 2nd look at this family.
It is unfathomable to me just why this man's experiment causes so many people to spit venom. He's not telling other people how to live, but showing them what can be done by example. And if he effects even minor, environmentally positive changes amongst his readers, then any damage from publishing is likely offset by the changes he has inspired.
And while I don't think it's a publicity stunt, I couldn't care less if it was. Maybe some good will come of it. Who is he harming? His family is happy and healthy.
For some unknown reason, lots of people take his experiment as a personal attack, but I'm thankful that there are people like him who are willing to withstand all the negativity in order to try to do something positive.
