• I just found this http://www.cancerproject.org/media/newsletter/f… It gives the numbers on how much is actually given to the factory farms, alcohol producers, sugar growers/factories, etc…and how little is given to fruits and vegetable growers. Does…

• Katie, if you can figure out a way to avoid paying taxes and get away with it, PLEASE let me know! stylistchick, absolutely not, veganic crops use volcanic ash and other mineral rich soils to fertilize crops, no animal products are used at all.

• I didn’t want to touch this topic because it was enjoyable to read as it is but just to add some thought for those who live in the USA and pay taxes (which most of the inhabitants do) are contributing whether they like it or not to animal suffering …

• Just out of curiousity, how do you kill a lobster and keep it raw, mygreenmojo? Don’t you worry about parasites and toxins in the waters of this over-polluted world? Even SAD eaters who are consuming loads of toxins every day are worried about mercu…

  in daily vitamin/supplements Comment by SocaL
• forrestlyone, I disagree with your post there…here is an article to assert my point of view: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/20… Supplements at the very least are a complete waste of money and resources at the worst they can do harm.

• I think Koreans have an issue with the Japanese. No offense to anyone here but I have met Koreans in the past who said they were Japanese. After I learned a few Japanese words I was able to say a few phrases to them and that proved they were not Jap…

  in Moving to Korea Comment by SocaL
• sabriya, where did you get your information about longevity in Korea? I looked it up and Korea is nowhere near the top. Many other countries have much higher life expectancy rates than Korea. Some examples are: Jamaica, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, L…

• I don’t know about the rest of you but when I go to work out at the gym I can sense the SAD food eaters from miles away. It is really an unpleasant experience when it’s busy. I don’t ever remember having the same experience when I was not eating a p…

• You can start by reading the following posts on Doug’s forum: http://www.vegsource.com/talk/raw/messages/9993… You can also research the work of Joel Fuhrman, he doesn’t agree with the 100% raw diet but his work is accepted by even raw food enthusia…

  in Mucus Comment by SocaL
• The information you added is only partially correct, bellasera. Actually our body produces all the enzymes it needs to digest all foods. It doesn’t use the enzymes in the food except it will digest them and sometimes use whatever properties of them …

  in Mucus Comment by SocaL
• This is another case of reductionism as I mentioned in another thread. Orange juice (or any other food or substance) doesn’t do anything to us – it is our own body that does everything. The juice or whatever you ingest is just a food and the body ta…

  in Mucus Comment by SocaL
• These are the ones I tried and didn’t like. I see they say “great at dissolving mucus” on the link you included – this is reductionism big time. No way can olives dissolve mucus – mucus is a body fluid created when the body is under attack by toxins…

  in for the love of olives Comment by SocaL
• I disagree about the olives. I tried the raw olives that are sold online (the unsalted ones) and they taste so awful. They are bitter and do not have the salty taste that the unraw olives have. I decided to give up olives altogether because to me th…

• omshanti, that is a nice idea, the problem is what makes the tea thai tea is not the plant variety (there is only 1 plant that is used to produce all teas called camellia sinensis) but the way it is processed. It’s the processing that makes the tast…

  in thai tea? help! Comment by SocaL
• Most every commercial tea has been processed and heated. The only way to get ‘raw’ tea is to pick it right from the plant yourself. I go to Thailand often (in fact I am going back next week) and I know what their standards are like, everything they …

• Hi Sara! I was introduced to the raw lifestyle in 2001 when I finally had enough of the medical establishment’s lies and propaganda with respect to health, especially my own. I took responsibility for my own health at that time but I still did not c…

  in Reductionism Comment by SocaL
• There are many threads already started here that go into this topic. Just search the forums. In a nutshell you should always be careful with fruits. They need to be eaten alone on an empty stomach, never mix fatty food like nuts or oils with sweet f…

  in Food Combining Comment by SocaL
• Organic Cocoa Mass, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Vanilla Flavor and Organic Peppermint Flavor. I was just wondering what these ingredients really are? Cocoa mass? What is that? A mass of cocoa? Doesn’t sound very yummy to me. You also really have t…

  in larabar addiction! Comment by SocaL
• I don’t see why people find them so ‘yummy’. They are composed of only dates and nuts. If you are attracted to the sweet taste then eat only dates, if it’s the fat and rich texture then eat the nuts (in moderation). It’s not adviseable to eat them t…

• Several religious rituals require a fast of several hours or even days, some fast all day and only eat after sundown etc. People in some countries generally only eat once or twice a day. Of course there are many millions of people who just don’t hav…

  in popcorn kernals Comment by SocaL
• Hi dan, Now I understand. Don’t you think that eating a pound of fat is not a good balance with a pound of greens or fruit (or in any other proportion)? One pound of fat has about 4300 calories, a pound of greens has about 80 calories, a pound of fr…

  in DanCharming Comment by SocaL
• But how do you possibly eat 12 pounds of greens per day? I can hardly eat 1 pound a day.

  in DanCharming Comment by SocaL
• I think eating a diet that is 33% fat is kind of high as there is no nutrition in high fat foods except fat. You will need to make up for the deficit in other nutrients by eating tons of greens or other low calorie foods. In order to eat 33% of your…

• Superfoods are overrated and in my opinion a complete waste of money. Do the research, try them for long periods of time you will see they are nothing but marketing hype.

• Doug Graham’s Interview is now loaded at the address: http://rawsummit.com/access/free/ It is a free download at this point. I am not sure if it will stay that way. I think it lasts about 60 minutes.

  in Raw Food World Summit Comment by SocaL
• Nuts and any sweet fruit is a bad idea all the time. It is not a natural way to eat and can cause a lot of problems. This means that all of those raw bars that contain nuts and dates, nut milks, many recipes which include nuts and sweet fruits etc. …
