• The problem is just as you said, people do not want to give up their attachment and emotion to meat and milk. When you try to rationally explain what is wrong with these things they get caught up in their emotions and get stuck in the fear of "not g…

• Bananas, no wait papaya, oops I mean persimmon, or maybe it's strawberry, mango. Come to think of it the plain old orange is the best. Well, forget it, I can't pick a favorite. Then again there are tons of fruit I've never tried, so for now it will …

• I've stopped using poo for about a year now. It took a long time of greasies (more than 6 months I think) but I lived with it (there are def advantages to being a stay-at-home mom). Once a week I wash with a water baking soda mixture and rinse with …

• No food processor needed as the Vitamix is capable of pulverizing whatever you feed it. You can use a paint strainer for nut milks but you can also just not strain the milk in order to take advantage of a whole food. Plus throwing away food (the lef…

• Talking about getting sick by eating some SAD food, on Halloween night and the next day I gorged on chocolate which I hadn't eaten for a long time. That was Sat and Sun. I got soo sick Wed. and I hadn't been sick a day since going RAW (between 80 to…

• Swayze, that's a hard lesson to learn for me when I know that the ones I love could benefit so much from RAW. As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

  in Are You Too Raw Food Focused? Comment by rawfreak4fr
• Wow!! Great article. It describes exactly how I try not to be. I find myself obsessing about it but I think that is because it is so different from the way I have believed my whole life (I embraced RAW at age 46 and am now 48) and old habits are ext…
