• Bees are “insects” but they are still life with awareness, I think. Same for fish, i think. Plus, beekeepers can be unwittingly cruel, even nice ones, i think.

• I also agree with another post of Ron’s. I wish the forum had a quote function. :) I believe I should do my best and leave the rest up to God. I try my absolute best with what i can control. But, there’s stuff in life i can’t control. I try to to be…

• I agree with Ron’s take on pets. I’d like to take it a step further in that I think keeping a pet is like slavery.

• As for synthetic vegan replacements for clothes made of animal products, i’m all for it. Synthetics are natural, i believe. Oil is a vegan product, making plastic a vegan product, i think. The fact that oil is unsustainable? Anything becomes unsusta…

• Sorry, but reading about hunting lobsters and killing them to eat just creeps me out. I never liked cooked lobster because the thought of boiling them alive always seemed wrong to me. It just seems serial killerish to stalk and kill animals for food…

• I have the blendtec too. The basic thing it needs that the vitamix has is the tamper to push the food into the blades. Then, i think it would be the better machine. I’m going to buy the vitamix tamper to try and see if it fits into the hole in the t…

  in Anyone try Blend Tec vs Vitamix? Comment by System
• Maybe you just need to eat more calories, foods with protein, iron, essential fatty acids and B12. B vitamins are really important, make sure you cover all of them.

• they have real raw gumdrops. It’s made from the sap of a tree. i ordered some years ago but it got sent to my old address and I couldn’t pick it up. the gum drops come out of the tree in perfect little circles. i guess you would blend that together …

• I often plug/unplug when I’m home/not home. Kind of like dehydrating sessions for the recipe. But then again if I’m gone for an hour or 2, I leave it running. When I’m at work I don’t leave it on. But I mostly do my recipes on the weekend.

• I have an American Harvest Dehydrator, which is 100$ in Canada at Home Outfitters. I just didn’t want to spend that much for it. It comes with 4 trays, one teflex sheet and one plastic tray for liquidy recipes. It’s round (not square like the Excali…

• Eunice, what are the specific foods you crave? I have a list of raw foods that you could eat that would get rid of that cooked food craving, and I’d be happy to help you with this.

• Onethousandone, I would like to know what it is you’re taking. I’m interested in knowing because my hair has thinned out recently and my nails have gotten somewhat brittle. I must say I keep banging my fingers by accident which really doesn’t help, …

• Tabouleh!! Yummy!! I don’t use quinoa when I make mine, just parsley, tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, cayenne pepper. You can also add other veggies. I recall humanimal posted a tabouleh recipe, and he uses cauliflower instead of quinoa. It’s Mom’…

• Juleskess, I reread your average eating for one day, and I’m not a doctor but I really think your food combination has a large part to do with your gas. For your morning smoothie, I would stick to one type of fruit to go with the spinach/swiss chard…

• I hardly ever get gas. But then again I’m used to eating broccoli, corn, turnip. I’m not really fond of cabbage, and I’ve read it can cause a lot of flatulence – it’s reacting to the intestine toxin buildup. I’m really careful about food combination…

• Hi mango woman, I have created myself a “water routine” which I try to respect no matter what. Before bed I put a tall glass (1 cup) filled (and I mean filled) with water. First thing in the morning when I wake I drink this standing. I then have a s…

• My days are pretty much all similar. In the workweek, I have breakfast and lunch at work, so it’s go go go. I always eat three big apples for breakfast. It’s pretty busy so it sometimes takes me up to 2 hours to eat them all. I might have a couple o…

• Juleskess, maybe your “sick amount of fig eating” is causing you that evil gas…? Just a thought.

• Ambikalee, I love your quote!! And Pam, I agree with you: I don’t discuss either politics or religion, and I will now add eating habits. It’s true, trying to explain your eating habits only turns into arguments. Many people (at work, mostly, and guy…

• Hi AleBrazil, I have read in a raw foods book that you can use your oven for dehydration. Put it at the lowest possible temperature for 24-36 hours (depending on what it is you’re making), and leave the door slightly open. Good luck! josée.

• I sometimes use raw honey. Sparingly, but if a recipe calls for it, I don’t refuse to try that recipe because it calls for honey. My thought has always been that I personally have chosen the vegan lifestyle 7 years ago for health and well-being reas…

  in why vegan is called 'vegan' Comment by System
• Very interesting forum! On the vegetarian continuum, the proper names for people who call themselves vegetarian but eat chicken/white meat are “half-vegetarians” and the ones that consume fish are “pesco vegetarians”. And then of course the lacto, o…

• I think you’re supposed to use it as an addition to salads, and not use it like a regular lettuce like kale or romaine. Also, I’ve read on the rawfoods.com forums that it will make your pee yellow and smelly.

• Juleskess, how about using red peppers instead? And I’m thinking you used chickory instead of kale….? If it’s chickory, I eat the stems, but not kale stems.
