• luna blu, Yah, obesity is a fat storage issue, not a diet or exercise issue. Poverty is due to lack of money, not earning too little and spending too much. Got it.

• Not enough. You are getting enough bulk but not enough of anything else. From reading this and other raw boards, the people who do best 1) add moderate amounts of raw, good fats (such as nuts, nut butters, avocado, coconut); and 2) most importantly …

• I’ve never had any problems with my flax crackers. By the way you don’t need to grind the flax seeds. Once you soak them they will make their own slime that holds the cracker together. I dry mine at 105, flip them as soon as they’ll hold together, a…

• “Longer soaking makes them more digestble, because the vinegar digests the potato starches and other things. “ The acid breaks it down a bit.

• Hmmm. I don’t buy raw pickles but I make my own sauerkraut. I may be able to use some of the juice from that. Thanks, Strawberry. That’s a great idea! I think I’ll make 3 batches: 1) Lemon juice 2) Sauerkraut juice 3) Just a little lemon, oil and sp…

• queenfluff, The vinegar/acid is what breaks down the potatos and ‘cooks’ them without destroying the enzymes. I can use lemon juice, I know it will work, it’s just very expensive these days. I was hoping for something else. Thanks for letting me kno…

• Question to all: I don’t like vinegar at all. In fact, I don’t even like to be in the same room with it, I can’t stand the smell. I realize I could substitute lemon juice, but lemons are so expensive these days! Organic lemons cost 85

• See what you drove me to, changing my photo, hiding behind shades. Luna blu, love your rabbits. I am peeing in my pants (New York-ese for LOL). Zooey, we carrot crunchers don’t mind the occasional rabbit reference, yawning or not. We’re too dull to …

• I feel better without coffee, but it’s an addiction I tend to go back to at different times. Without it I sleep better, have more energy (and much more sustained energy), and my (ahem) spiritual experiences are better. About the constipation. Two wo…

• Celery is one of my favorite foods – ooooh the the juicy crunch! I love it with hummus or by itself. I sometimes chop it in bite-sized pieces and sit down to munch a bowl just like popcorn. I also like it as filler for salad dressings.

• LimeLady, I had a 9-tray that I got rid of because it was too noisy. I also live in a small space – 2 bedrooms, 750 square feet, and I do have doors, but the noise was too much for me. Maybe I’m just too sensitive. I have a 4 tray and it’s quieter. …
