  in You know you're a raw foodist when... Comment by LovesPeter
• pianissima, I don’t think an omnivore diet is good—that’s a given. I don’t think “raw omnivore” makes sense in the context of going raw for great health, which an omnivore diet would undermine.

• Bluedolfin, I’ll just reiterate that, once one does have the knowledge of the significant negative impact of animal protein on our health, that one would determine that eating raw and eating animal are profoundly inconsistent. I’m following the phil…

• Personally, I do not understand the choice to be raw and NOT vegan. Animal protein is linked to so many serious illnesses! This is not news! Why go make the effort to be raw and then not bother to confront the addiction to animal products and to get…

• Congrats on breaking the ice with the green smoothie! WHOOHOO!! Incidentally, I use ONLY baby spinach in my smoothies, as far as leafy greens go, because I didn’t like the taste of kale. I’m totally cool with that. I eat collards, kale, other lettuc…

  in Afraid of detox Comment by LovesPeter
• I actually have some mouth sores right now from what I think is detox, and I’m doing about 70-80% raw. Yeah, it’s a little painful, but it’s temporary, and considering the other benefits I experience, ie. clear mind, calmer mood, no aches and pains,…

• There is such great inspiration and advice posted already. I just wanted to say that I commend you for coming here and posting your HONEST experience and pain about where you are with this. I think you MUST want to keep going, or you wouldn’t have b…

  in All I feel is deprivation... Comment by LovesPeter
• Hi Bluedolfin :) Thanks so much! Wow,your story is amazing and interesting. I appreciate your support. I feel strange about keeping this appt., as much as I want the itch and discomfort to go away NOW. I have been under a HUGE amount of stress this …

  in Dermatitis Comment by LovesPeter
• /threadjack/ I’m a little discouraged, because I find the only green I like in my smoothie is spinach—which I lOVE. I tried kale and collard and the taste of the green was soooooo strong and it felt heavy to me. I have an old blender, so maybe that’…

• thanks, debbietook :) I didn’t know that dates required soaking. So glad I asked.

  in Are dried dates raw? Comment by LovesPeter
• /threadjack/ : Are the dates in all of the recipes dried, or fresh? I have dried dates, but don’t know if I should use them.

  in Are dried dates raw? Comment by LovesPeter
• I just had to reply to this topic, because I made a recipe tonight that called for olive oil, garlic and nama shoyu and I was SO QUEASY for 3 hours after. I still don’t feel quite right. It was awful and I had to throw it out after a few bites. I ha…

• Yes! I WOULD like….:) That’s very kind of you, Suzy.

  in Personal Crisis Threw Me Off Comment by LovesPeter
• Thank you all for your kind messages and helpful suggestions. I love this site because I feel the lightness of everyone’s vibration and it clearly is the raw food. I so needed to hear what each of you have said :) I will try to gently bring myself b…

  in Personal Crisis Threw Me Off Comment by LovesPeter
• I’m STILL so confused by this issue. This is RAW FOOD! Why are people counting calories, worrying about eating too much? I’m a little frustrated that I seem to have lost the feeling of freedom from this mindset that I assumed/read was a part of a ra…

• No idea why there are lines through part of my post!

  in Does anyone eats a lot of confort food when stessed? Comment by LovesPeter
• I can relate so well. Yesterday morning, I made raw chocolate pudding w/two avos and ate it all in one sitting. Then later in the day, I made Ani Phyo’s garden pate-and ate the whole thing in one sitting. I’m dealing with a stressful situation and a…

  in Site Problems? Comment by LovesPeter
• There is a great deal of defensiveness in this thread. I believe that to call onesself a vegan if one truly is not, is an issue of integrity and honesty. I am blown away that I am expected to walk on eggshells so as not to offend the easily offended…

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by LovesPeter
• You guys are killin’ me…”angry methods?” Where do I express a lack of tact in saying that vegans don’t wear leather and wool? I think of someone who, say, does not eat animals but still wears them as maybe “nearly vegan,” or another such accurate de…

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by LovesPeter
• kandace— If one is wearing wool and leather, one is not vegan. I’m confused as to what you mean by “lighten up.” My statement was not a judgement, but rather a clarification. If my post made YOU feel defensive for some reason, I would say that is yo…

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by LovesPeter
• To all who still, incredibly, consider themselves vegan while continuing to wear wool and leather….you’re not. Sorry, guys. You might be “nearly” vegan, but you aint vegan….not quite yet. VEGANS do not consume or use animal products, period. This is…

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by LovesPeter
• Right now, I’m at about 70% raw. I was vegan for 1.5 yrs before this and vegetarian before that. I currently take a B-12, a good multi, and a vit. C. Each of these supplements makes a noticeable difference in how I feel. I’m open to the idea that, e…

• Thanks, Lucy! Sorry to all for the double Intro post. I just realized it.

  in Hi everyone! Comment by LovesPeter
• OK, I feel silly asking, but I keep reading and i don’t quite get it….do I need a blender for smoothies and a juicer for juicing? I wouldn’t think I could throw carrots, apples and, say, kale in a blender, right? Do people use the term “smoothie” to…
