  • The canned stuff I was thinking of is made by the companies that make the frozen raw pet food – it isn’t raw but I figure it might at least be better qualitity than something like Whiskas or Iams. I have the Nature’s Variety frozen organic chicken r…
  • Aw, so sorry! Well, at least, you can get her on the path to getting well again. I think better for her to eat something now than nothing. There are a few of the raw pet food companies that also sell some canned foods. Maybe go with those? Canned fi…
  • My cats spit up just white foam everyonce and a while and they are all fine. I usually notice I find some white foam spit up on the floor after one of them tries to eat something unedible on the floor. My one cat loves grass and we give her fresh an…
  • Hi odalys! I forget to answer you back about Eating for Beauty! Sorry! I would consider the book sort of like a raw foodists “coffee table” book. It has beautiful pictures and the information is good but honestly, you could probably find the info on…

  • Hey, this is a great idea! I do have Eating for Beauty but I want to keep it. I would be OK with letting you borrow it if you want? Actually, David Wolfe just came out with a new edition of that book so you might want the latest. I don’t know how di…

  • There is a thread in the Being Raw section about Raw pets. Zoe has been feeding her kitty raw for a while. She has lots of great advice. I have been trying to switch mine but not too much luck – they are old and set in their ways. A great natural pr…
  • Did he pee in the old brand kitty litter? How about putting a small box of the litter behind the TV (the old brand)? :)
  • Wow! I was going to respond with lots of advice but Writeeternity covered pretty much all of it for me! Great Advice! I seem to remember you posting a while ago about your new place being very small and not having any windows? Is your kitty used to …
  • Hi yydallas! Oh, how many times this has happened to me in my life so I totally understand what has happened to you. In my situation, it was because I was a vegetarian (this was way before i was into raw). I had several boyfriends who said, when the…
  • Do you care whether or not they are grown in the USA? If not, buy the raw European grown ones if you can find them. The California ones will be pasteurized as of Sept 1 (they will still say “raw” ) And oh, most of the pasteurization is being done wi…

  • Ok, I feel so out of it. I never heard of some of these new TV shows. I have TIVO so I TIVO all of my old faves off the satellite – Little House on the Prairie, Beverly Hills, 90210, Three’s Company. I have probably seen ever episode of the entire s…
  • You look great! How did you get the pictures to show up in your post like that? I wanted to do that a few times but couldn’t figure it out.
  • Hi rawmama, I have made the veggie chips with it before and my chips turn out really crispy when I use the spirializer to slice. I use the blade with out the graters on it. Maybe you need to dehydrate longer?
  • I use a Spirializer (sp?) that I got from Target online a few years ago. Not really a mandoline but I find I don’t need a separate mandoline with this thing. It makes all sizes of pasta and thin slices that are perfect for making raw potatoe chips. …
  • If you keep letting them sprout, you will have a super tasty treat. Fully sprouted Sunflower sprouts are very tasty and you can eat them fresh on salads.

  • I am with you guys too! I have been 100% (or almost – not everything was TRUELY raw) for a period of time but I honestly feel better being somewhere in the middle – I don’t feel great being 100%. I don’t think I will ever be 100% permanently because…
  • The most natural hair coloring is henna. Although, I think mostly it not recommended to use over chemically colored hair. If you decide too, be careful and follow the directions. You could try matching your natural hair color and henna the colored p…

  • I agree that humans were meant to live in tropical climates specifically near the ocean (sort of like Blue Lagoon). I mean aren’t we the only species alive who wear clothes? We could not handle the cold at all with out them? I don’t think we were me…
  • I have the Yacon syrup from Natural Zing too but I got the other one (the one that is probably not truely raw) because I wanted a smaller bottle first. It is a good sub for agave in smoothies and such but it tastes OK by itself but I still prefer th…
  • Hi all! The bacon recipe is pretty flexible I think. You could probably use almost no oil and sub water and it would probably be fine. I like it oily my self. I think the oil part is so it can be “greasy” like “real” bacon. :) I would definately exp…
  • There are no exceptions to the almond law currently so it isn’t that this place is getting one – it has do with some other law that way older than the new law. A friend of mine told me that this place was protected by some old 100 year old law – I a…
  • They sell Organic Raw NonPasteurized Almonds. You have to look under Organic Nuts. If you look at the FAQs “Are your Almonds Pasteurized?”, it explains under there why they are not effected by the law.
  • Hi Matt I get mine from a local co-op here in Milwaukee. They just happen to sell raw organic almonds from both California and Europe. I would check out some of the online raw sites like Natural Zing – I think they are still selling raw almonds that…
  • germin8- It is illegal to sell unpasteurized almonds at a place like a grocery store or farmers market. It is illegal to ship unpasteurized almonds to any place in the US (but apparently it is OK for a place in the US to ship them overseas unpasteur…
  • Hey guys, Don’t forget about that you can get raw almonds unpasteurized online or in California or just buy the ones grown overseas. Check on the Cornucopia web site to see things you can do about this: http://cornucopia.org/index.php/almonds There …
  • Congrats on your success! Your stories are so funny! I laughed at the “traditional, crazy, California cuisine” – To me, California cuisine is normal cuisine than some of the weird meat dishes people eat in other areas of the country (texas being one…
  • All, Here is a good article about the almond issue. It explains alot of stuff and talks about Living Tree Community Foods http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/08/23/BUE8RN9HJ.DTL
  • Yes, you can buy directly from the growers unpasteurized but they are only allowed to sell a certain poundage a day unpasteurized like you stated. That is allowed. You have to go directly to the growers to get them though so you have to be in Califo…
  • The pasteurization only apply to almonds grown in California. So, if you buy raw organic almonds that say they are grown in say France – they won’t be pasteurized. California grows 100% of all the almonds grown in the US. I think Florida is the only…
  • Hi stylistchick - Actually the marantha raw almond butter are not really raw – if you look at their site – they state that they heat too high to be raw. But if you are not a purist than you might want to email them to check on the state of the almon…
