• i would recommend eating more food, in general. big smoothies with cacao, coconut and protein (either hemp protein, hemp seeds, or nuts) is a good way to get lots of calories in. try not to worry too much about gaining the weight! it will happen. ju…

• sometimes people use miso, because it is fermented as well… it depends on the recipe, but yes, you can definitely just use probiotic. you can also make rejuvelac with other grains, like buckwheat!

• some people think it’s not raw because it’s made from a base of cooked ingredients. i think it’s a it silly, myself. juliano also uses stuff like raisins, which are usually dried at too high of a temperature… it goes on and on this way. i personally…

• ok, i read the essay. the honey i buy is indeed from small, organic honey farmers who treat the bees well, and do not heat or filter the honey that i purchase. i don’t expect that we will all agree on this, but i don’t think it’s fair for someone to…
