• This entire conversation is incredible. I am impressed, for sure! My absolute credit to all of the dedicated students and parents/teachers out there. I’d like to offer an alternative view though: I went to public school from k-12, and found that whi…

• I’m with Carrie! When I tasted peanuts from the shell from a farmer’s market, I thought to myself, “really?!?? this sucks!” And I had the most uncomfortable realization that the only way I liked peanuts is when they were roasted…ever notice that the…

• Maybe this has to do with the enamel being eroded away from too much acid (lemons on the MC)? I know that this can make the teeth extreeeeemely sensitive.

• THIS is why I crave greens soooooo freaking bad if I have too much coffee at work! I knew it before this forum, but this is just an opportunity for me to emphasize that HOLY COW! THE BODY IS SO INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

• The week after I transitioned to a vegan diet from a vegetarian one, my soul, mind, and body reached an incredible high that (until that point) I had never reached before! I realized that we are simply not meant to put any sort of animal product int…

• Wait, sorry, I just realized that’s not really on topic with Saraw’s original forum topic. Saraw—don’t worry about it. The absolute hardest thing about going raw is the transition time, and we all fuck up (scuse my French). There is always tomorrow.…

• Cucumbers are mine! I always have them around. They are perfectly neutral in flavor and not too sugary OR bland, and are a great reminder to stop, think, and to put the (fill in the blank) down. If I do stray off path, eating a cucumber automaticall…

• Also try turning off your fridge!!! Everyone thinks I’m crazy, but I haven’t used my fridge since January, and it’s amazing. No humming noise in my apartment at night, significantly lower electricity bills, and it keeps my life (and wallet) pleasant…

  in Energy saving tip Comment by BeTheChange
• oh!!! And dont think you have to buy things like $30 raw cacao beans and $3 organic cucumbers and a $500 blender. Being raw does not mean you have to be a millionaire. I make $9/hour and do just fine! :)

• bbcc33! My goodness! NEVER think that you need to prepare foods forever in order to live a raw lifestyle. I am a poor college student who works 18-20 hour days! My secret is eating raw food on the run AKA 2 pears instead of a cup of coffee like the …

• I wasn’t a raw kid, but my mother did always make sure I ate healthy and vegan. I remember one of my absolute favorite things was a peanut butter and jelly “sandwich” made with fruit leathers and nutbutter in the middle. I liked it because it was so…

• Ya, Froemer, don’t worry about getting all the pricey equipment. There is a big misconception in the raw community about needing pricey this and that, and it’s easy to forget it’s about WHAT we eat, not HOW we eat it (for the most part)! I use a Mr.…

  in Hospitals...... Comment by BeTheChange
• ugh, I hear all of your stories. A friend of mine went to a treatment center for an eating disorder and all they fed them was “hospital food”. She has been vegan for years, even before her eating issues came up, and they forcefed her shitmeat and sh…

• thanks! :) Happy almost-full moon, guys. Remember that moon cycles are a brilliant way to start a cleansing process i.e. breaking bad habits. Perhaps consider using this full moon (tomorrow, officially) as a reminder to help with this specific addic…

• I haven’t had any alcohol! annnnnd what else? Being in the sun so much is only motivating to stay raw. I had some coffee at work (remember, I’m a full-time barista, a constant challenge) which made me want refined sugars, so I had a bagel, but then …
