• Yay, raw moms! And wives! Not that I’m a wife, currently, but I need to get my head around the idea of being raw (possibly on my own) if/when I get married again, before I’ll really trust myself to date non-raw guys. :P I’m too easily influenced, so…

• I have done the same as you, more than once – I get stressed because money is short, and I think eating raw is too expensive, or too stressful when I’m already stressed, etc. I have found, though, that if I eat cooked food, I don’t feel good. The he…

• Eating raw gives me energy & health that I can one day use to help people grow food biodynamically. I am already doing it for myself, which makes me able to get more fresh local organically grown food (from my garden), and I drink young coconut …

• From what I understand, high sugar diets make high amounts of insulin, and high amounts of insulin cause/contribute to inflammation, which is the cause of a lot of arthritis (& other) pain. Ginger is a great food for reducing inflammation, and i…

• Hot tea wouldn’t be raw.

  in can we still drink hot water? Comment by angie207
• The point of raw is to keep enzymes, vitamins & minerals intact (mainly enzymes). Water has none of these, so heat away. :)

• I now order a lot of things in bulk, and that saves me in the long run. Wal-Mart land, huh? I’m very fortunate to have two good health food stores and an Asian market within 30 minutes of my house. I order a lot from Azure Standard – www.azurestanda…

• A tomato plant in a bucket, inside the house, can be a good place to start. Tomatoes don’t need to be pollinated by bees in order to grow. Balconies are great, too. :)

• Someone else I know grows vegetables in the space between the sidewalk and the street, where there is usually grass, and this year it looks like she has planted a couple of fruit trees there, too. She ties her tomato plants to tall stakes & cuts…

• The veggie gardening effort is like what I would love to see all over the place. Not too far from us, a lady has the flower beds in her front yard filled with vegetable plants – AWESOME!

  in Food crisis / food stocks dwindling Comment by angie207
• Definitely growing our own food is a big way to help, but most people don’t have the space and/or climate to grow everything they need to eat, so it’s not going to completely solve the problem. Here’s a big part of the problem: 100 pounds of grain w…

• A sauce with either garlic, or salt, or lemon juice (I use all three in a sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce) will soften the noodles – I put extra lemon & salt, and mine goes much quicker than an hour – I don’t like to wait that long! I think I usu…

• I know a man who healed a very sick body by drinking LOTS of raw goat milk – like a “Heidi” story. cherie03 – There are a few cheeses you can get that are “rennetless” or made with “vegetable rennet” – they are labeled that way, if you decide to loo…

  in Why no milk? Comment by angie207
• Then there’s cheese – rennet (the stuff that makes milk congeal into cheese) is the lining of a baby cow’s stomach. So a baby cow has to be killed in order to make cheese.

• Not all raw foodies are vegan. There are those who use raw dairy, and others who eat raw eggs & raw meat. This site is a raw vegan site, so that’s why it seems everyone raw is also vegan. I think the issue some people have with milk is that the …
