• I buy big containers of organic Spring Mix greens & keep avocados on hand to add to my salads. When I make salad dressing, I make a big batch. I put sunflower seeds in to soak in the morning and make “Cheese With Spring Onions” in the evening – …

• Winona – Thanks for the info. about pesticides in meat versus plant foods – very interesting!

  in local or organic? Comment by angie207
• I agree – I love it that I can safely rinse most things and not have to worry about bacteria that might have gotten on things from the meat, or mayonaise, or whatever. :) I’m wanting to stick to salads lately, just so I’ll only have one dish, a knif…

• I feel much more balanced when I have sprouted grains (wheat, barley, etc.) as a part of my diet. Grains (especially wheat/kamut/spelt) have most of the vitamins & minerals our bodies need, and they have a good amount of protein as well. Each pe…

  in To eat grains, or not to eat grains? Comment by angie207
• I don’t have the solution – yet – but I just wanted to say I feel for ya! I started mostly raw by eating the cheapest fruits & veggies in the summer, and lots of sprouted grains to fill up on. People say greens are cheap, but for me it was a lot…

  in Poor college student... Comment by angie207
• I love gourmet raw foods, and I like to make the meals. But I have a life outside of the kitchen. So I (through trial & error & success) have found several recipes that are very simple & quick to make, and I make those a lot (several rec…

• I have never made it yet, but I read that the reason a lot of people have trouble making rejuvelac is that they aren’t using filtered water, and chlorine kills the good microorganisms that make it what it is supposed to be, so it goes bad instead of…

• I love it (sarcasm) when people are WORRIED about my health, while they’re eating pizza or drinking Red Bull! ;)

  in youre eating too much fruit! Comment by angie207
• I am fortunate that my parents have seen the great improvements in my health & know that I study a lot about nutrition, so they don’t give me a hard time about it now, and my siblings have backed off as they’ve seen my life improve, too.

• You could always start giving her the science behind whatever she is eating – the fructose & fiber in the fruit versus the white flour in her bagel…but it might be better to just let her wallow in her “real” food while you heal yourself with “to…

  in Agave...RAW OR NOT?! Comment by angie207
• troublesjustabubble – I LOVE kale – You are right; it is very tough, so you have to soften it (with salt, usually) for it to break down enough to get the nutrition out. Otherwise you could use it in a green smoothie if you have a Vita-Mix (breaks it…

  in Agave...RAW OR NOT?! Comment by angie207
• FYI on agave, bees & color of honey: Agave nectar is not a byproduct of tequila; it naturally turns into tequila as the enzymes in it cause fermentation. Agave nectar is generally heated to destroy those enzymes. One company that makes raw agave…

• I have used a magnesium supplement, and it is good, but it doesn’t cover all the bases that raw cacao covers for me, although for people who don’t tolerate cacao well, magnesium may work if it is the main thing missing. It may also be the phytoestro…

  in Craving Chocolate Comment by angie207
• It’s magnesium. I use the Sunfood (David Wolfe’s) brand, and I feel wonderful. When I have tried other brands, they were anywhere from not very effective to making me feel awful. I only crave raw cacao the way I crave broccoli, or figs, or coconuts,…

• Chocolate was one of the first things I gave up when starting my quest for eating healthy. The first year raw cacao powder was available, I ate probably a pound of the powder every month! It healed a lot of issues I had related to my periods/hormone…

• Fat takes longer to digest and therefore might make sleeping easier because the body doesn’t get as hungry at night?

• My son IS making good decisions. Yesterday, after watching a video on Rawfu, he told me he wants to eat only raw food for 100 days. He started last night, after eating all the cooked foods he said he will miss (except that I refused to let him eat a…

• I feel your pain! We live with my parents so I can go to school & get out of debt, and it is hard because my dad eats just like you described your relatives in Texas. My son is six, and he was three and addicted to chicken nuggets, corn dogs, &a…

• If you are not hungry enough to eat as much as your body really needs, it can be a deficiency of phosphorous &/or B vitamins. Otherwise, no worries. I’ve experienced both – the deficiency, and times when eating lots of greens & other nutrien…

  in Why am I not hungry? Comment by angie207
• Onions, garlic, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. contain sulfur & can cause gas/bloating if eaten without some type of fat to help them digest. A lot of times, I get bloated if my body is trying to cleanse. Lots of water & greens seem t…

• I can’t afford NOT to eat raw – so I buy a lot of stuff in bulk – www.azurestandard.com – they are in Oregon but deliver all over. I buy sunflower seeds, flaxseed, coconut oil, alfalfa seeds, grains (barley, rye, etc.), spices & herbs & mayb…

• amysue – Awwwww! I feel for you! As for influencing other parents positively, I’ve kind of realized that it’s pretty hard to change people’s ideas when they’re set in their ways, and I don’t like to try to change other people (hard enough to change …

• I signed up to be the Room Mom for my son’s class when we went to meet his teacher last night & I told her I want to be able to decide (at least in part) what kind of food is served at parties. Since we can’t bring home made stuff, I’m going to …

• amysue – How cool, that your daughter has her own business! That’s something I’m trying to teach my son – to work for things. He is soooo unmotivated by money. He is motivated by being connected with people – which explains why it’s hard for him to …

  in Raw Moms Comment by angie207
• I’m a frustrated raw mom, right now! My son just decided on Sunday that he wanted to do only raw food for 106 days (started at 100, then he went up). Four days later and a horrible temptation at a friend’s house (I didn’t think about warning them or…

  in Raw Moms Comment by angie207
• My son’s favorite snack/meal/whenever he can get it food is “fruit ice cream”: frozen strawberries, a little of whatever other fruit we have on hand, and a little agave & water or orange juice, blended in the vitamix until smooth & creamy.
