it seems a lot of you guys have more time than most to prepare raw foodz/meals/smoothies, etc. I was wondering, what you do for a living that brings in the income? With a full time job, it seems just really, really difficult to have the time to go home & quickly whip something up since there aren’t any fast food raw places [yet :P]

I’m a statistical programmer for a clinical research organization. When money is tight (I have 6 other mouths to feed, a child in college, and 3 elderly vehicles that need frequent repairs), I try to stick with salad and fruits. Nuts and pre-prepared foods (Lara Bars, etc.) are fairly rare treats.

Peace and Blessings, Suzy

You guys are awesome for replying. It’s really comforting to see that yes, you can survive and eat well in the type of society we live in. I live in northern Texas, and in my area there is no such thing as anything raw except going to the grocery store and making it yourself. People around here will actually look at you weird if you have a basket full of just veggies and fruits!

Thankfully, I am now [as of last week] an employee of Whole Foods, woo! and definately will be able to grow more into eating so much more of what is excellent for me. Now, if only my location had that live foods bar just like the headquarters!

Readers Digest is the best! I just got out of the military after 8 years so I am detoxing military life out of my system and enjoying being stateside while my husband works!
