• i’ve got coconut opening down to an art so i’ll tell you the trick is NOT to try and open it with the whole length of the cleaver, but bring the force down with the heel of the knife. first make a hole in the top by angling the heel of the knife dif…

  in Just went raw and I can't breathe! Comment by elizabethh
• I so know exactly what you’re talking about. Do keep in mind that raw foods are great but they are not the solution to all of life’s problems. I don’t mean to be a downer, but its important to keep that in mind as the initial high wears off slightly…

• parsnip and cauliflower are extremely nutritious. in fact, parsnip is richer in vitamins and minerals than its bright orange carrot cousin. do a little research on google, don’t be fooled by the colour, lol!

• i love it, and from what i know wikipedia is (as usual) wrong and the reason there is a “negative calorie” effect is because it takes so long to chew, lol!

• Whole foods is not perfect, just as planet organic is not perfect, but they are still definitely a step up from your regular grocery store. Although farmers markets are still my preference, more “green-minded” big chain stores, even if the only reas…

• I don’t see any problem with whole foods, I have a very similar big chain organic store near me, and I think these kinds of corporations should be supported, not boycotted. I believe it is a step in the right direction for our corporate world!

• Detox is real, but all illnesses are definitely NOT detox. I really don’t understand people who try to tell me that something like leprosy or ebola are not real illnesses, they are just the body “cleansing.” Ridiculous really. But in my experience, …

• i wouldn’t quite call this “fluffy” but you can make “creamy” bread from lots of soaked flaxseed, coconut meat, hazel/brazil nuts, dates, banana, and spices all food processed to make a kind of pancake batter that can be dehydrated, and comes out a …

• I think you’ve analyzed your situation with a lot of good logic and great sensitivity. Just as I think it would be silly to advise someone living far up north to eat a raw vegan diet, it is fully possible that a raw diet is putting you out of balanc…

• I don’t know, I consume plenty of greens and am far from spacey, lol! If there is a correlation, perhaps it has more to do with a state of mind…maybe raw foods and green juices have a pacifying effect on some people, putting them in a natural medita…

  in Taboo: Are vegans slow-witted? Comment by elizabethh
• LOL Zooey…that restaurant stuff is hilarious. I doubt there is a connection…I know plenty of vegans (including myself, I like to think) that are quite sharp. We also should not discount the highly plausible presence of marijuana, which tends to slow…

  in Taboo: Are vegans slow-witted? Comment by elizabethh
• Some people will disagree with me on this, because supplements are kind of taboo here sometimes, but in addition to a balanced raw diet with lots of greens I take and would recommend taking a very high quality naturally sourced B12 vitamin. I think …

• naturally i’ll repeat the “go see a doctor thing”, but in the meantime, you may want to lay off the MSM or enzymes? maybe there’s a chance you’re having a reaction to them since you only started taking MSM so recently? i don’t even know if that’s po…
