• Doubt is a virtue. We are blessed to have the freedom to question everything and to blaze your own trail of passion. Not everyone has such freedom. True—the majority of Americans (3rd generation myself) do not want to know what has become of their f…

• Honestly, Holly. if I let my hunger be my guide as in my perfect raw day, I’d have a green smoothie in the late am after a piece of fruit in the early am, followed at 2:30 by a lunch of (today) 2 raw burgers—you can make a nut pate without the dehyd…

• I think it’s the best thing you can do for that little baby. Agree MDs have absolutely NO training in nutrition. Plant-based diet is essential, raw or not. Just check out “Eating” DVD available from www.ravediet.com. Phenominal. The book is not as g…

• I’m getting my cacao from Amazon and Navitas Naturals now. I like it better than sunfood. It’s a little less $ also. I think if this is going to be lifelong—you must have raw versions of your favorite foods. I make raw chocolate balls almost daily. …

• I’m not good at sending links, but i’ll try—new to this too and turned on my G. Cousens (i thought it really helped explain why i couldn’t do the 80-10-10). Try going here: www.holisticonline.com. there,you will find a link to “alternative therapies…

• Ardes—I think that book is full of unsubstantiated claims, not to mention that Al Sears is very overweight. Any good distance running program involves hills and fartleks (paced sprints) for variety so i agree that you don’t run 10 miles slowly daily…

• Hey Rawkidchef. Agree with most said here. I did 8-1-1 for awhile, fell WAY off and started eating cooked of all things. It made me feel like a complete failure at raw. now, looking back, I just think Dr. Graham has a do or die approach to this and …

• Same problem. I’ve checked all I can find on-line and the recipe you have seems to be the answer. I’m going to try it as well. Interesting, Pianissima-the basil that is being munched was not planted in my raw food compost/organic soil. Hmm.

• Sorry-rawkidchef—didn’t mean to insult. We do get lots of newbies. In Atlanta, a banana is a banana is a banana. Some small, some red, some plantains and that’s it. Bitt – I’m totally loving the “Living Nutrition” Magazine. So much information!

• I have definitely never heard of that—are you talking about making ice cream from frozen bananas? That I do a lot of—add a little vanilla or cacao.
