• I’ve been gravitating to eating what can grow locally or could potentially be shipped without burning fossil fuels (i.e. when people used to take months to cross the ocean by boat – these would be things that last several months or more, like nuts, …

• I like sprouted quinoa in things. I only soak it for 30 minutes to maybe an hour or so, and then rinse & drain it several times befor leaving it out to sprout – and I make sure it is drained really well. It sprouts within a day or less, but I li…

• Blue_Eyes – Ouch – Sorry! I don’t have a spiralizer – I’ve just been scraping the flesh out of the middle with a spoon, but I thought there were spiralizers that do hard veggies. Also, I think I got my squashes confused, peeling-wise. I was thinking…

• I cut off the outer skin & the inner slimy layer, but I don’t know if you have to. Spiralize it & toss the “noodles” with olive oil, sea salt & black pepper – crushed garlic, too, if you like it. I am wondering about the seeds, too. We g…

• So far everything I’ve put pears into has been wonderful, and some of it my son likes better than when we used agave! For recipes that call for soaked dates or agave, I have been putting in fresh pears instead – drinks, pudding, etc. – I don’t know …

• 1sweetpea – I don’t eat a lot of sweet-tasting fruit by itself – only maybe 5 fruits per day. I don’t have time to chew up enough calories that way & still get my greens & veggies in. I eat around 3,500 calories per day, so it’s helpful to h…

• stRAWberry – If I come up with good ideas, I’ll be buying pear trees next year! I think as an experiment, I’ll just blend & dehydrate them like fruit leather, then soak before using in recipes. those “Fall pears” sound interesting – anything tha…

• I tried my “Orange With Ice” recipe with a pear instead of agave, and we liked it better than the original recipe. :) I never thought of juicing them; I just figured they wouldn’t work because they’re too soft. I was thinking of soaking dehydrated p…

• The b-complex sounds good – B5, B6 & inositol are all related to preventing hair loss. There are other nutrient deficiencies relating to hair loss/thinning, too. Here is a list with raw food sources of each: selenium: Brazil nuts silicon: flaxse…

• Woohoo! I think you’re right about the self-acceptance making it easier. How awesome, too, that you have someone else there interested in raw! :)

• What are they eating all the time that DOESN’T require fossil fuels to grow it, transport it, process it, cook it, etc. and is produced in wonderful work environments where people are treated well, AND is inexpensive? Yikes! I’m sorry you have to be…

• superfood – Interesting perspective! It’s true – there’s likely to always be someone doing something worse. Another way to look at it is that a lot of people are already hard on themselves & they need to see the strength of any & all good ch…

• I eat raw goat cheese a few times a year, when my body wants it, and it’s definitely not a “killer” :) I HAVE been eating healthy long enough to notice a difference. If I eat cooked starches, I start having a harder time telling what things are good…

• I don’t buy leather any more. I don’t buy factory-farmed animal products, for my son or myself. I blow mosquitoes off my arms when they’re biting me. I talk to the squirrels, grasshoppers, etc. in my garden and ask them if they could please go find …

• I think that the way our species was “designed” to live isn’t always possible, even if there IS just one way! Depleted soils mean we have to eat five apples to get the nutrition our ancestors got from one apple, so we can juice to get more nutrition…

• STENE – I pick up my Azure order in Lehi, but there’s probably one or more in the Salt Lake area. You have to call them (phone # from the website) & set up an account. They will tell you where the nearest drop point is & send you a catalog. …
