• I learned in my environmental science class that REGULAR potato plant leaves are toxic. This is an excellent question for a botanist. Personally, I would not attempt eating it until you get information from a credible source. Good Luck!

• I forgot to recommend a book to you. Raw Food For 1 or 2 people by Jennifer Cornbleet. I find this book extremely helpful, as the recipes are only 1-2 servings…so waste is reduced. Most of the recipes are 5 or less ingredients and take just a few mi…

• When ever I eat 1/2 or 1 avocado I get really bloated. Seriously, it is so bad. The bloat lasts almost 24hrs and then all I want to do is fast. Any suggestions? Am I eating too much fat at one time?
