• The closest to the way nature creates the food is the best. Blending is far better than juicing but eating the whole food is even better because blending causes some oxidation as the food gets exposed to the air. Juicing is not recommended for fruit…

• Summer is such a treat, isn’t it? Figs, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, plums, etc. Next week I’m going to try to find a pick your own cherry farm (if there are any cherries left). I’ll have days of food after that.

  in The Protein Myth Comment by SocaL
• Yes, and you haven’t even mentioned the fact that the fruits and vegetables when eaten raw supply a much better quality protein that our body can use versus the beef which is nearly always cooked and often overcooked which supplies a highly toxic an…

  in Dates! Comment by SocaL
• I believe that dates will lose some of the sweetness when they are soaked. I haven’t tried it however. Just FYI, Lara bars are not a good way to go for the long run as they are a very poor food combination (sweet fruits with nuts).

• Sure some of that is true but most of these mangoes are imported from Mexico. Sure there is a fence up between San Diego and Tijuana which is intended to stop the illegal immigrants (but is not) but it will not stop pests from crossing. They can sim…

• No, these treatments are for to kill off any type of larvae that might be in the skin of the fruit. Irradiation is just that, exposing the fruit to radiation strong enough to kill any living creature in it, heat treatment is either soaking in chlori…

• Have you ever looked into the 811 diet? It is a low fat diet that allows you to eat all the fruit you like without any of the negative effects. It has cured many of some very difficult to deal with diseases (diabetes, cancer, eating disorders, diges…

• Before you make your mind up remember the almonds are just the tip of the iceberg. By the time you live here you will have no nut or seed that is truly raw, most likely not much else either in a few years. I hope your plans include a large fruit orc…

• I don’t think the government can force anyone to take vaccinations. I became a permanent resident in 2000 and I required them but I was not on a 100% raw diet at that time and I didn’t know the harm they can do. I know much better now. Here is a lin…

  in Going raw and digestion Comment by SocaL
• Glad to hear you are getting positive results. As for best for digestion, sweet fruits are almost all easy to digest as long as they are ripe and fresh. This seems simple but most fruits we find in the market are not ripe and fresh. Most are picked …

  in Going raw and digestion Comment by SocaL
• You can eat a low fat raw diet that consists mainly of very digestible fruits and lettuces. This can even improve your digestion.

• Don’t go off it. Your body needs time to adjust, so if you do eat cooked then water fast for at least 1 day (if possible). I’m going to San Diego tomorrow and probably will eat at Cilantro (ordering the non-spicy dishes). I will not go to Sunfoods –…
