• Bananas and oranges. These can be eaten whole without any prep. They are tasty and relatively cheap. Put them in a smoothe with some other fruit and maybe some greens. Kale, tomato, onion, avocado. These are the (my) essentials for a basic salad. Ju…

• I don't think you need to prove them wrong, as in have them admit you're right. Because that almost certainly won't happen. Try to let knowing the truth for yourself be enough, and have compassion for people who are too blind to change. But I do rec…

• They're not "raw" in that they don't posess enzymes, especially after steeping them. However, I think most would agree they are not harmful, and potentially have other medicinal benefits. I also heard they don't have calories anyway, but I'm not sur…

• Its not ideal but I don't blame people who like it and use it to transition. I've definately been high off it before. I use it to stay awake to study, instead of coffee. It'll be phased out eventually though.

• I agree with sisterbecky. To reiterate in my own words, just because you can't eat raw organic doesn't mean you have to eat crap. The point with every meal is to eat as high up on the "health" scale as you can, so just because you can't make it to t…

  in Is there such a thing as too much fiber? Comment by eecho
• If you eat a lot of fruit, then the water makes it easier to digest. Dehydrating foods is similar to cooking it in that water is being removed. So, that difference could be upsetting regardless of fiber. If you wish to continue eating your raw bread…

• Raw bans are toxic. The most toxic are red kidney beans and its relatives (i.e. pinto). Never eat these. Others are toxic as well, but perhaps still beneficial in other ways. That's why chickpeas will give you gas. Red kidney beans, however, will ma…
