I thought there was some mistake, but I have found that " High Vibe " is a company that started in 1993 in NY, selling products to the "raw community" and providing dietary counseling. The term must have begun being used after that. I learned another term when I was looking this up: raw foodism . I can't see how "parameter" works, though. | |||

I think the word they wanted was "perimeter." | |||

That's what I was thinking, Tinman. I just looked up parameter to see if I've missed one of its definitions, but I haven't. Interestingly, one of my committees has been talking about the word parameter recently. We had wanted a more gentle word than "barrier" and the choice was "parameter." Instead of talking about regulatory barriers, we're calling them parameters. That's one reason why this thread piqued my interest. | |||

As nearly as I can recall, I've used the word "parameter" only once. It was several years ago when I had contacted a couple of elderly American professors who were about to leave Taiwan to return to the USA. One of them replied to my invitation to stop by Hawaii on their way, "We need to know what the parameters are." My response: "We'll show you pretty gardens, zoologic and botanical, and lava flows, both cold and hot, of origin volcanical. And you can talk with experts, professionals and amateurs, who'll answer all your questions with regard to the parameters." | |||
