• It’s not about keeping yourself healthy. There are over 44 million Americans (9 million are children) without any form of healthcare coverage. And there will be many more with the economy geting worse. Devastating illness is a major cause of homeles…

• oh! if you do go to taos something really fun just outside of Taos is the earthship community. Earthships are homes people have built that are off the grid, completely self-sustained and built from recycled materials. They’re quite cool. I don’t kno…

• I lived in Santa Fe + NM for 10 years, but I can’t remember one raw/vegan place! I think Cafe Oasis in SF has some raw. There’s a Wild Oats Market there too that will have raw takeout. For sure go to 10,000 waves japanese spa…$20 for unlimited hot a…

• I’ve heard that Costco has bulk organic. Is that true? I’ve never been, but I’ll join if that’s the case. Can I just go in and look or will they stop me?

  in Bulk prices on Fruit? Comment by schmoopee
• hmmm. HI rawforhealth!!! To answer your question…you won’t ever feel a sense of fullness like you would on meat or grains/breads. I believe it’s simply because you are eating foods now that digest easier + faster which is what you need in order for …

  in not sure if raw is going to work out for me Comment by schmoopee
• I love chickpea miso, I buy it at rawvegansource.com. I add it to a lot of things for that salty/fermented flavor—its much milder than nama. I also spread it as a condiment on raw sandwiches and thin it with water, avo + agave for a quick dressing t…

• In case money is an issue, I bought my 9 tray Excaliber on their ebay store. They sell factory blemished models there for a big discount- though I honestly could not tell you what’s wrong with it. It looks (and works) perfect to me. fyi…it doesn’t c…

  in Excalibur Dehydrators: 4 Tray versus 5 Tray Comment by schmoopee
• Hi rawforhealth, Yes that’s right. I prefer smoothies because they are more filling, have less cleanup, less waste, and mostly, honestly, because they’re cheaper. It takes far more produce to make juice. So a cup of juice vs a cup of smoothie has mo…

• Did you get a young thai coconut (white) rather than the brown hairy kind? That’s what they usually call for but don’t say it. Young coconut meat is rubbery and pliably, easy to scoop out with a spoon. See here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ-6Ld…

• Something really similar happened to me—a burning itching rash, but on my upper lip (not the skin) towards the inside of my mouth and the corners of my mouth. I had been eating a lot of asian dishes that week and I believe it was the raw ginger. so …

  in Could This Be A Detox Symptom? Comment by schmoopee
• Hi 1sweetpea, I feel much clearer eating raw. The biggest change for me has been a huge reduction in stress. Part of being ADD is that you spend alot of time with anxiety about what you need to do and how to get it done rather than just doing it. Th…

• I was going to guess that you were a rewarder! me too :) There’s alot of debate about whether coffee has any benefits and its gotten some good press, http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA400146. Ultimately it should be about what makes you feel better.…

• I love coffee, I drank 4+ cups a day. I too have been wanting a cup, but I know that once I drink it I won’t be able to stop, so I just don’t. Its the worst for me in the morning so I try to add really energizing things to my morning smoothie—cacao …

• Have you tried cashew butter or almond butter rather than milk? I’ve seen people make chais and lattes with them. You might need to blend witha a tiny bit of water to get it going. Cashews seem like they would be the least “nutty” in flavor—and they…

• I just switched my 6 + 10 yr olds cats to 50% raw (half a ground blend I buy in Whole Foods pet dept. + half organic dry), but if they had their way they’d be 100% Raw. They freaking love it, they eat and purr and make little baby gurgling sounds wh…
