  • if you buy local honey you can get reassurance from the farmer. local honey also gives the benefit of helping with pollen allergy symptoms (for those who have that issue). if you don’t have any beekeepers in your area, i can personally vouch for thi…

  • in my opinion, all bread is bad for you. if you prepare it properly; soaking the whole grains/flour and using sourdough starter it can be quite nutritious. from what i understand, a lot of people in our culture (europeans mostly) don’t digest grains…
  • i don’t think it is an issue of animal fat vs. plant fat, but one of saturated fat vs. polyunsaturated. from what i understand, of them coconut fat is the most easily digested and what makes a lot of people fat is carbohydrates, msg, artifical sweet…
  • i’m glad to have stumbled into this conversation. i’m new here and i feel a little more comfortable now with a few more like-minded people. i’ve been doing raw for a couple of weeks as a cleanse and it has been interesting. thanks kandace for “openi…
  • no need to apologize aspire. there has been nothing said in response to my post that i haven’t heard before or once believed myself. i didn’t go into this expecting that anyone would agree with my perceptions, and i know what a sensitive subject it …
  • to ardesmond: i understand the difficulty of not taking things personally. i’m happy to hear that you were able to resolve it from within and respect you for doing so…a sometimes rare and powerful skill. yes, you are very perceptive, my studies for …
  • hello ardesmond, i’m unsure what you are referring to. the info that i deleted was a few questions to luna blu on her comment. i wasn’t speaking on or offering any information on a topic. were these questions what “touched you on a different level”?…
  • luna, i did remove my post very soon after writing it. i thought it could possibly ensue an argument, and i didn’t want that to happen. looks like you read it in that short space. anyway…i wish you well on your food journey. in response to aspire’s …
  • hello zooey, i have quite a different opinion on this one since i’m not vegan, but have been in the past. i have met and heard stories of vegans and the health problems they incur. some of which: shrinking of the uterus, weakness, thyriod problems, …
  • well, i’ve done some more hunting and i read that b12 deficiencies can take years to show up after eliminating animal products from one’s diet. i’m not so convinced that you can get it from plant sources or dirt yet. i read the indians (from india) …
  • what i have been able to find on bonobos so far is that they are omnivorous but eat mostly fruit. female dominated and very frisky! i like it. looks like a great argument for a bisexual polyamorous society if we are deemed most like them. don’t thin…
  • i’ve heard that a lot of cultures have a tradition of fasting/cleansing for a short time in spring, but i’ve never heard throughout the year. didn’t jesus also feed everyone fish? still looking for that B12.
  • oh yeah! i did see a bit of that myself. pretty sweet and amazing indeed. here’s a link to the film: http://www.koko.org/friends/kokomart_bkvid.koko… if you google it i’m sure there’s more.
  • yeah, i just read about the crazy chimps! from this it seems like they were big meat eaters! http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/goodall/print/re… i can’t remember for sure, but aren’t we closer to chimps than gorillas? (i wouldn’t be surprised. feel a l…
  • i’ve noticed that too…when i would exercise after having caffeine, i would have better workout. i had more energy to put into it i guess. i wonder what would happen if you added cayenne to it as well. interesting about the fatty acids, thanks for sh…

  • the main trouble with canola and other seed oils it that they are polyunsaturated. this means they have many open bonds and oxygenate (go rancid) very quickly and are only good for you if you eat them immediately or if there is very special care tak…
  • if you get the raw meat from reputable sources, then i don’t see the problem presented here. i certainly wouldn’t feed a pet factory farm meat or so called free-range which would present a huge risk. i have friends that feed their dogs local pasture…

  • i will try it sometime (soon hopefully) and post the results. i never thought of dehydrating raisins…interesting…
  • the reason i want dried is for certain recipes that are liquid sensitive, and also for some hiking/backpacking drink mixes i’m working on.
  • if it’s a baked good, you could try tahini. i used to use it in pancakes and it worked nicely and added some flavor.

  • a pleasure to assist… wow, a 7 day course on kombucha! you must have learned quite a bit. g.t.’s plain is great for a starter (it’s actually the only one i have used myself). any raw plain should work.
  • here’s a document of mine that i often share in different forums. i love kombucha. green tea is my favorite. you should never have to pay for one. the kombucha tribe on tribe.net could be a resource for you to get one, or just follow the recipe belo…
  • hi lynzemarie! i would be happy to share resources with you. right now the doc i work for uses the nourishing traditions diet (primarily), a 3 week raw food cleanse (standard process purification kit) for some patients with cancer, arthritis… and th…

  • red palm oil is good for you. it has quite a different flavor to it though. you may want to mix it with another oil like coconut.

  • in addition to the health problems mentioned, it is also now a big problem for the rain forest. south america’s “soy king” is now making way for crops. even the initial deforestation for cattle is being replaced with soy.
  • tamari—naturally fermented, no wheat, and unpasteurized
  • salt has quite a place in history. it was very valuable to many cultures and was sought out. salt regulates how much water is in our cells and keeps that balance. it like a conductor i think. unrefined salt like himalayan, celtic, and real salt have…
