• So sad. First I read today that they might euthanize the lost baby whale that has been trying to suckle a yacht, and now this. I love all animals, but monkeys – especially gorillas with those giant eyes – just kill me. Who doesn’t want to be hugged …

• i’m just in shock that you have a 12 year old. you look fantastic. a good advertisement for raw!

  in AHH! A Sleepover! Comment by DagnyTaggart
• “Leafy greens” covers a lot of ground. Yes, spinach and salad. But certain greens are more healthful than others. I’m sure you know iceberg lettuce is fairly empty of nutrients. Look for your darker greens – kale (my personal favorite), chard, colla…

• you should check out Natalie Rose’s book The Raw Food Diet Detox (I think that is the correct title – but you should be able to find it with that). It is a great book for people transitioning. She even gives tons of sample menus for people who are ‘…

  in I feel so stupid!! Comment by DagnyTaggart
• I think it is irresponsible for people to suggest small dietary modifications for a man who is using ‘raw’ as an excuse for starving himself. I’m with TomsMom – he needs professional help. We all know that raw foodism attracts people with eating dis…

• Thank you, Greenghost and Greenie. It really would be nice to read a post without having to wonder What Would Jesus Do. Guess what folks – no one knows what Jesus would do. So, if someone asks you if Jesus would order the Salmon or the Green Salad –…

• I don’t think it’s necessary to lie or to preach (though I admit to having felt uncomfortable going out to restaurant for big group dinner when i was doing 100% raw). And I can’t imagine going to eat my fruit in the bathroom as if I’m shooting up or…

  in ARGH!!! American culture is SO frustrating Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Stevio – Ok, that is really funny that you made a smoothie full of mustard greens. yikes. i guess you’ll know how to tell those two greens apart for now on. ;) i promise you, kale is a lot more palatable than the bitters (mustard, dandelion, etc.). …

  in My first Green Smoothie Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Wow – i didn’t realize people use such little amounts of kale. What is the purpose of 1 or 2 kale leaves? I generally use (for a 32oz smoothie) one head of kale and about a half blender full of fruit (maybe 6 peaches, 4 mangoes, or 2 pints strawberr…

• JKD_Soccer – I just checked out your profile and saw what the JKD stands for. How cool. I trained in Jeet Kun Do for 4 years, back when I first started doing muy thai. i still sleep with my escrima stick by my bed, just in case an intruder comes in …

  in College Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Finish. You are almost there. You don’t need to use the degree – it’s not a chain to the corporate world. But, there are many opportunities that might come your way later that are only available to someone with a college degree. Surviving as a human…

• Izhpt – what are you talking about? Those gymnasts are at least 16. Sheesh. Don’t you know any 16 year olds who are still losing their baby teeth, don’t menstruate, and weight under 75 pounds even while competing as an elite athlete? Don’t be such a…

  in Michael Phelps - Could he eat raw? Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Thecavsman – I guess he would just have to hire a full time raw chef to make it possible (which I’m sure his endorsement money could provide.) Can you imagine the attention that raw food would attract if a premier world-famous athlete were to endors…

  in Michael Phelps - Could he eat raw? Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Yes, lizzy – he could be my Pool Boy any day. ;) Paxton, yes, gross, but yes, also valid. He must have gotten to add that activity to his ‘eat, swim, sleep’ daily list. BeTheChange – that is interesting – the details of how you felt on the different…

  in Michael Phelps - Could he eat raw? Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Interesting! Thanks for the reply. From the article I read, he says he is already always either swimming, sleeping, or eating – so maybe he really would not have the hours in the day to be able to meet his body’s calorie demand while eating raw. I c…

• Moth – how are you liking your hot yoga? Maybe if you can’t find a wonderful raw vegan who you want to date, you will settle for a wonderful hot yogi? ;)

  in Preparing for my first hot yoga session Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Hi Moth – I’m a big Bikram yoga practicer – I absolutely love it. I see a lot of people in the studio mixing the vitamin packets in with the water. I really don’t think it’s necessary. The important thing is to drink a lot of water during the day (n…

• Oh my G-d!!! Can we please have a thread that is not about this kid and the bible???? I’m look for information on how fellow raw foodists regard alcohol. Not on some 17 year old’s regurgitation of bible quotes. This site is being damaged – all be on…

  in Consuming alcohol at 100% RAW Comment by DagnyTaggart
• This is a really heartbreaking post. There is no way that you can diagnose yourself as fructose intolerant right now, so you probably do not have to start avoiding fruit. Your body is messed up because you are starving yourself. You cannot be health…

  in will I gain weight if I go lower raw? Comment by DagnyTaggart
• It’s so nice to log on to look for some new recipe ideas for the weekend and be SAVED instead! i feel so silly for spending all of these years considering myself a religious agnostic and cultural Jew. If only I had realized earlier that Jesus saves.…

• Thanks for agreeing, guys. ;) I thought I was going to get booted from the site for losing my temper. And Kevyn, now I know who you are!! (and who john galt is nowadays…)

  in Second law of thermodynamics Comment by DagnyTaggart
• I thought it had been determined that this is not GoneG-d? Aren’t these religious debates supposed to just happen in the Christian and Aethiest threads? Maybe that is the proper forum for speaking about being SAVED BY G-D PRAISE HIS GLORY, and that …

  in Second law of thermodynamics Comment by DagnyTaggart
• I did it for three days after having bought and read two books on it. I don’t think I’ll try it again. I was trying to ‘reset’ my digestive system since i’ve been dealing with newly diagnosed and unfortunately very active ulcerative colitis since ea…

  in Does anyone else feel a bit 'iffy' about MC? Comment by DagnyTaggart
• i think it is a terrific book, especially for a newbie or for finding suggestions for the non-raw foodies in your life. it was the book that first helped me transition to mostly raw. defnitely worth checking out. the writer comes across as one of th…

  in book "THE RAW FOODS DETOX DIET" Comment by DagnyTaggart
• sounds like a good compromise. maybe instead of your mom’s cotton candy idea, you can set up some pots of chocolate & caramel and have people dip/make their own candy apples. then at least you know people are getting some fruit! (ok – now i tota…

  in I need to vent!! Comment by DagnyTaggart
• I think if i were not already a long-term vegetarian, i would be pretty put-off by the ‘there’s shit in the meat’ conversations. i think it’s gross and alienating. there’s a crazy guy that always stands outside the grill booth at the big farmers mar…

  in I need to vent!! Comment by DagnyTaggart
• Ok – I have an idea. If you’re okay with healthy vegan and not all raw – what about a Made in China theme, where you make big batches of (healthy!) buckwheat soba noodles and then provide all the fixings for people to make their own noodle bowls? Yo…

  in I need to vent!! Comment by DagnyTaggart
• I think Kandace makes a good argument about budgeting. Can you think of a practical idea for food that would fit your dietary choices but which you could provide for 75 people? Maybe this means going mostly raw with some non-raw vegetarian items. On…

• I went to burning man last year, but not for the entire week, so i didn’t have to worry about too many days of food (plus i didn’t eat too much while there). I brought a bunch of fresh corn on the cob – which keeps well without refrigeration for a f…
