There were some clear differences:
seed did use pb&j, but never put anyone on a diet of that stuff. You could eat all the sandwiches you wanted.
seed they ate at home, well-cooked meals in the eveing (especially the late years). no one had strictly pb&j for lunch and dinner. On the contrary, seed clients ate very well especially in the later 80's and 90's. many, if not all, gained weight after just a few weeks there.
Restraints were not used at seed in 80's 90's. You were psychologically/emoioanlly pressured to
stick arounf and be a part, but if you simply refused , they would let go. i saw it many times.
it seems that straight had a much, much meaner edge. and the personalities really, really doubted each other during the experience no matter how long you knew pwoplw at straight you really never liked many of them. at seed people were deffinately more likable even lovable, but there was a stronger persoanlity cult at seed much much stronger
there you really beleived that these people were old souls that had lived other lives and had fianly gotten to a higher plane at lesst the staff had, there ere insinuations of that in the discourse.
