• Another non sweet fruits is a cucumber – they’re from the melon family!

  in Newly raw with questions Comment by Zoe
• Hi Tanya, I think that to begin with it is just important to eat raw. As much as you can, ideally 100%. I found this the easiest way, rather than mixing raw with cooked, day in, day out, which made me continually crave cooked food and prolonged my …

• But people who have allergies are quite accepted. Some people have nut, egg, milk, everything allergies and no-one questions that. If I said I was allergic to cooked food I wonder if the response would be different. What if I said I was ‘cooked food…

• Well the thing with me and Chris is that I wanted to change to eating raw, but I didn’t think I could, so it’s more that he supported me than tried to convert me, I was already sold on the idea :) From what you say Socal, your girlfriend doesn’t wan…

• My husband and I were both cooked vegans when we met. He had experienced raw food before, and wanted to go raw. Initially, although it all made perfect sense to me, I thought I couldn’t do it. So he went for it and I trailed behind. He helped me to …

• In Russia microwaves are banned because of the dangers. Chris said something interesting on this subject, he wondered “What if opening and closing microwave doors and standing in front of microwaves that are breast height is behind the huge increase…

• Great article Josec thanks for posting it here.

• Great info Joesc! Some raw foodists won’t eat mushrooms because they grow at night under moonlight, and not under sunlight. Lots of people forage for wild mushrooms here and they are totally delicious. I think they are a good source of minerals, par…

• Hi, I have found that marinating is the key to eating mushrooms raw. I marinade them like this: Big bowl of mushrooms, ripped up/chopped up, salt, garlic and some organic/unfiltered olive oil, massage it all together. It isn’t a marinade that they s…

• Don’t think Brewers Yeast is raw, which is probably why no-one has mentioned it on here.

  in Should we worry about B12 deficiency Comment by Zoe
• There was a study done on a group of long term Iranian vegans. It was found that they had great levels of B12. The reason is that they fertilise their veggie patch with their own poo. Apparently we produce our own B12, but is generally believed to b…

• Put in food processor. Use as rice?

  in What to make with turnips? Comment by Zoe
• Depends, each individual is different, as each one has a different state of health to begin with. Some people get totally energised during fasting, others can’t get out of bed. You’ll have to just try it and see how it goes. Maybe a good idea to pre…

• This web page explains why honey is not vegan, couldn’t have said it better myself… http://www.vegetus.org/honey/honey.htm By the way, I do not kill ‘bugs’ or any living creature, ever. There is always another way, always a choice.

  in why vegan is called 'vegan' Comment by Zoe
• I can’t stand the thought of taking anything from any living creature. It disrupts my ideas of living in harmony with nature as much as I can. Bees will sting you if you try to take their honey. They do this to protect themselves from predators, I a…

• Well I know anything yellow is good for liver cleansing. It seems odd to eat a flower that is so common and ignored and thought of as a pesky weed, but I am drawn to them so I will give it a go and keep you posted.

• Hia, you must feel great after kicking the cola and coffee, I know I felt amazing after letting the caffeine go. I lost a lot of water retention as well. I was so relieved that cooked food tasted dead and lifeless after I had been eating raw for a b…

  in more leafy greens in my belly Comment by Zoe
• spring onions (scallions) are also considered leafy greens, the leaves on celery are aswell. Broccoli would help too I think. You could grow your own wheat grass and buy a wheatgrass juicer. I have got one on the way that I got online. Wheatberries …

  in more leafy greens in my belly Comment by Zoe
• Hey, I think what I went through was a bit extreme too, I am certain it was down to me not taking good care of myself and living on a diet of chips, roast potatoes, coffee and dark chocolate for years and years. I am sure you have a much better star…

  in Am I detoxing? Comment by Zoe
• I had the grossest, worst, most evil looking sores I have ever seen or heard about, all over my lower body and on my legs. It was awful, painful and absoluntly disgusting. They kept coming and going for about 6 months. Some of them were so bad I cou…

• Ambikalee – I might take you up on that and turn up one day and eat you out of house and home!!, North Cal is one of me and Chris’s favoutite places in the word.

  in Where do you live? Comment by Zoe
• I live in Newton-Le-Willows in North West England. There are no raw vegans near here that I know of. There are some in the South though, but we don’t venture down there very much. There are quite a lot of vegans in the UK. We are a nation of animal …

• Jedisunrise, goodness, you have a 14 year old son?! You definatley and totally don’t look old enough!He’ll probably go raw as soon as he starts looking older than you;)

  in Being Raw with a family Comment by Zoe
• Sounds like he needs some extra special attention, some cuddles and affection and stuff to make up for what he is missing from the old habits you both had. That’s what I’d do, I’d give him lots and lots of extra love and treats (not food based!), to…

• Try the Shazzies Pizza recipe I posted, I think I ate mainly that for a few months at the start and it really filled in the hole…it is filling and doughy. And the ‘Zoe’s bread’ one I posted too, it is a good filler. Try eating it with raw jam (berri…
