• cami, the back thing is unrelated to the itchiness, at least i think. my mom says my back looks fine. it's just something inside. i honestly feel like i'm being branded but there is no mark at all.

• my favorite snack is spinach!! i just eat it while i'm watching tv/movies. it's like popcorn to me now. i also like putting veggies in iceberg lettuce and making a wrap of it. it's messy, but so good.

• bread/cookies in the dehydrator definitely have a different texture than you're used, too, but still delicious. since most of them are nut heavy, you won't get that light, airy texture (at least i haven't).

• that is a lot of fat in your diet. if i'm guessing, i'd say it's about 45-50% of your diet. now i'm not against fat. if you said you felt fine eating that much, then i wouldn't say anything, but i think you need to eat more fruits and greens. that's…

• when i say "i don't digest a certain food well" i mean that there are pieces of it in my stool- like corn, nuts, and seeds. they just don't break down in my body.

• i agree that orthorexia is a problem but they are painting raw foods in a bad light- as if they are lacking in all nutrients and that you're crazy to care what's in your food. i don't understand that. it's unfortunate that there was nobody at the me…
