• “grinds my grits” – that IS hilarious! No, ardesmond, I couldn’t afford a Vita-Mix either, but when we saw the demo and superman was guzzling all the samples and asking for more, I knew this was the answer to getting him to eat fruits and veggies. W…

• ardesmond – If you’re talking about the tortilla soup, yes, he liked it. Thanks for the fruit leather idea – he loves the one I have made before with apples, pears, cinnamon and nutmeg (I got the recipe from “Hooked on Raw” by Rhio). I have been mea…

• Thanks, jenergy:) I told it at my family dinner, and I didn’t even care if people liked it, because I thought it was hilarious! I’m “weird” like that. ;) stRAWberry – Gregory peck! HAHAHA :D I hadn’t heard of raw foodists drinking urine, but I have …

• Hey! Who says you’re not allowed!? It’s all good. I ate meat and then most everything else raw for about 2 1/2 years, and have only been eating 100% raw for the last 2 months. I still thought of myself as eating raw, because that was mostly what I a…

• Hey, I just realized I didn’t tell the answer to my joke: What’s brown and sticky? ...A stick! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! (Come on, you guys loved it, admit it:) I heard it on a kids’ show my son was watching and I decided it’s the funniest dumb joke I’ve hea…

• Adria – I went through a remarkably similar experience, but with different health issues. At one point I KNEW raw food was the answer, but stress and trauma put me back gaining weight. Several months later, as I worked through the emotional/mental t…

• addison – I think you’re probably right. Exercise is important, just maybe walking or yoga? I didn’t do it all overnight, but I did have a couple of periods of pretty quick transition, and walking is one thing I never really had a problem with – eve…

• Green juices – tons of them! – can help ease the symptoms of detox. Warm water enemas along with the green juices can also help. The symptoms, from what I’ve read, often show up because toxins are being stirred up, and the green juices, water and en…

• For me, it is different, but it is always something I am missing – vitamins/minerals, fat, enzymes, etc. or water – sometimes I think the fiber needs more water to go with it than when I was used to eating more processed stuff with not so much fiber…

• Dain5000 – Wow! Thanks for all the info. I haven’t done a lot of research on it, but I read in one book that mentioned that B17 was used to treat cancer and that it is found in apricot kernels. I have a huge family history of cancer and also have an…

• Anything that is that addictive cannot be a good thing for the body, and coffee makes the body very acidic, which then prompts the body to dump calcium from the bones into the blood in order to re-balance the pH levels. If you’re constipated, and ev…

• I sprouted garbanzos once but it has been a while, so I don’t remember exact times or anything, but rinsing them often (at least twice a day, and during soaking, too) helps keep them from going bad. I do remember that it took several days, and I had…

• This was wonderful! I just happened to come across this post as I was talking to a friend – right as he was talking about feeling down/guilty, I started reading this, so I read it out loud and we both loved it! Thank you :)

• I really appreciate everyone’s feedback and opinions! I agree, queenfluff and Raw_Chocoholic – I am super interested in nutrition and have read tons of books about it. But in college I chose not to go into nutrition because of the things you mention…

• aspire said that there is a law trying to be passed in congress that would make all organic foods and seeds illegal by December 2009. It IS an outrage! I want to look up more info. about it so I can write my congressman. I’ll edit to say aspire and …

  in Ok, poop again! Comment by angie207

• Lately I've been eating lots of whatever produce is on a super good sale. I can't plan menus/recipes until I get home from shopping, but I am able to get a good variety of foods for less money.

• Yeah, bananas – I used to compare everything to bananas – I’d look at something in the store that would be nice to have, but not necessary, and I’d talk myself out of it by saying “I can buy a lot of bananas for $12!” LOL

• Omshanti – Yay! I just sent you an email telling you how my dad thinks your offer is so cool and I can’t wait to see what kind of stuff you make! Anything that might “entice him to the raw way” would be awesome. I’ll let you know when we try it! :)
