• I haven’t even watched it yet, but I’ve been naturally buying less “stuff” lately. I used to be really into decorating the house, or making stuff, but I guess I’ve just been realizing all the waste – I used to work at a craft store that also sold a …

• pianissima – Thanks! And, I agree about the timing – it just feels so good and so right, to eat all the fresh fruits & veggies, and I’m hoping/ guessing/sort of expecting that by the time fall comes, I’ll be fine with not eating nearly as heavy …

• Okay, thanks for not responding (except for Zoe – and that was VERY helpful, thanks!) – No, really. I was waiting for some great advice, or for someone to send me the magical answer or a list of 20 perfect recipes, or something. The fact that no one…

• Thanks, Zoe! We were typing at the same time. Actually, the Cheese with Spring Onions recipe is what got my attention to replace the raw goat cheese, so because I knew you both eat only really raw foods, I got recipes from both of you yesterday :) Y…

• So I decided that a lot of my problem is that I also feel the desire to eat only really raw foods, but I still have emotional attachments. I went to another health food store today, and as I walked past the miso, I was kind of sad that I wouldn’t be…

• Thanks for clarifying :) I think that’s helping me understand, and it’s kinda what I’ve been trying to say – that good, bad, poison, healthy, unhealthy, etc. are in COMPARISON to other things. Speaking of burgers & fries, I can’t believe that I …

• pianissima – Matt Monarch sheep HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D Thanks for the insight. But then again, small drops of arsenic don’t make bodies grow & get stronger the way things like steamed veggies & Manna bread do; that’s why I think that poison may…

• chriscarlton – Thanks for your response! I guess I am thinking that poison is just not the right word, because whole foods (cooked a lot of the time) have healed people, but poison isn’t known to heal. But maybe that’s just my perspective. I appreci…

• Sweet! Where can I see the interview?

  in Simple Answer? Comment by angie207
• Zoe – I know that about the body’s reaction to different types of foods, but I just think maybe the whole process just needs explaining and to be stated differently. If people don’t eat, they will die, and if they eat cooked food, they will stay ali…

• Yes, definitely help people understand the difference! I remember making lemonade for my family, and they asked me after I told them it was lemons, limes & agave “So, you mean this is organic?” No, I hadn’t had organic lemons or limes, but even …

• Definitely the 9-tray! Just like Zoe said, you can make your food all at once to last for a while, and I like that I can buy whatever fruit is super cheap & dehydrate it all at once, etc. My dehydrator is in the basement because my mom didn’t li…

• “Hooked on Raw” – YEAH! That is the first one I bought, and it has quite a variety. I use it a lot more now that I have a dehydrator & a juicer that will make bread doughs.

• gorawmom – You might check out “Living on Live Food” by Alissa Cohen – I haven’t read it all or tried the recipes yet, but I like her attitude & approach – all raw, but it shouldn’t consume all your time or be too complicated. Winona – I want th…

• Me too, me too! So much support, information & variety of recipes – I am happy.

• Interesting point, pianissima! I wonder that a lot, too – scientists perform tests on the average population, & I wonder how skewed the findings are because of how people have been living?

• I healed my thyroid by eating high raw, and I regularly eat one to three heads of cauliflower a week, besides the cabbage, kale, & broccoli that I eat less often – all raw!

  in Vegetables that NEED to be cooked?? Comment by angie207
• If I eat cruciferous veggies along with some kind of fat (as per David Wolfe’s advice in Eating For Beauty), I have absolutely none of the problems I had when eating them plain :) I hear a lot of times that people say we HAVE to cook certain things …

• I don’t have the dry jug, but I thought that it was mainly for grinding flour? I use the regular one for everything else. I have had to start doing larger batches of a few things, too. If your stuff starts to get too warm/hot, you can put the whole …

• Don’t try to feed him raw soup – unless there is one that someone has tested on SAD eaters. The raw soups are usually nothing like cooked ones & most SAD eaters don’t seem to care for them. Anyone who has a recipe that contradicts this statement…

• Is your dad a SAD eater? I was waiting for someone to respond, too, but I did think of a good Mexican flavor salad, since you mentioned corn: Romaine lettuce & fresh cilantro, avocados, tomatoes, & fresh corn cut from the cob, with a dressin…

• Okay, so I ate some tonight – it was kinda hard, like rice that is partially cooked, maybe? Not crunchy, but nowhere near soft. It took some jaw muscles to chew, and I enjoyed it :) If I were wanting cooked rice, it wouldn’t go over well, but I ate …

  in Sweet Brown Rice! Comment by angie207
• Yup! That’s the one! Interesting that it’s glutinous… a while back I felt I was really missing grains in my diet, and I started using sprouted wheat & barley. In talking to my aunt, who can’t tolerate gluten at all, something came up that made m…

• In “Hooked on Raw” Rhio says that the fruit/veggie combo is OK if the veggies & fruits are blended together in a dish, but not to eat fruit just after a meal of other foods. I apparently do it all “wrong” – I love pineapple or oranges with banan…

• Almonds sold in stores are pasteurized. You can get really raw almonds from places like www.realrawfood.com – they have other nuts, too. The raw cashews sold in stores are also generally not the really raw ones. You can get cashews from the same web…

• Why 115? My experience & belief is that if our bodies get what they heed, they regulate themselves to a state of health & balance, and that includes a healthy weight. I think it’s important to remember that our society is not responsible to …

• Oh, yeah – and our soils are getting super depleted, because nothing is ever given back to the soil. That is why the gardening I do is partly to grow food and partly to grow soil :) I put my food scraps into the garden soil, and we gather leaves fro…
