• I’ve made “potato chips” with white potatoes in the dehydrator =) And there is starch in corn, peas, seeds; really most fruits and vegetables contain starch because starch is a carbohydrate or natural sugar in foods.

• I use lots of baking soda and vinegars to clean as well. I just compost as normal during the winter. It takes longer to break down, but I just keep adding and turning the pile. But I also have it in a plastic compost container. You can cover your pi…

• shele24, I’ve never been diagnosed as anemic. But then again, I haven’t been to a doctor in a couple of years. Could that be something that can come on if you’ve never had it? I should go and have a checkup done, if nothing else. Zoe, I’ve never tri…

• Thank you both! Actually, I’m not vegan, yet. But I’m trying really hard as I’m transitioning to raw. My downfall is cheese, and I’m making whole hearted efforts to cut it out of my diet. I’ve dwindled it down to about twice a week.

• I’ve used them in place of other nuts for raw recipes. I find they had a mild taste, and tasted nothing at all like peanuts, but that’s just me.

• Luckily, I have never had any problems with b.o. I have not used any deoderants for well over a year. However, I do sweat tons! I use a little baking soda when I am perspiring profusely. I am anxious to try the lemon though. It has to be a great as…

• I would love to see that “Truth About Food” show. The show “Honey, We’re Killing the Kids” still comes on Discovery Health Channel. It really amazes me that people have no clue what an avocado or blueberries are?! The families profiled are truly obl…

• Personally, after high school I attended a vocational school for two years for drafting and design. I got my job about six months into the program. I moved up to be in a supervisory position. I still work for them after 16 years even though I now li…

• I have the Nesco American Harvest with a temp dial from 95 to 120 (I think). I got it from Amazon. It keeps temperatures pretty accurately as well. I believe it was $64/$69, and it included shipping and the screens and the teflex sheets. It is small…

• Really? I’m ignorant on how to make nut milk. For some reason I thought I needed a vitamix or other more high tech piece of equipment other than a blender. Now, I’m excited. Thank you!

• Most frozen vegetables are blanched before freezing, thereby killing the enzymes. =( Just like Cascadian Farms, there are a few brands that freeze their veggies raw. =)

• Oh my! “Paradise Lost/Paradise Regained” is my favorite book/poem! I love, love, love Milton!

• Reading your story reminded me of Shazzie’s story when she decided to go raw. (www.shazzie.com) I think it is such a different way of life that many people just do not understand and are somewhat scared by it. I do not think healthier lifestyles res…

• This is great! I have been working my way to a higher and higher percentage of being raw. Most days I am probably 70% raw. I am striving for higher, and this little thread makes me feel much better that I am not the only person that is not 100% yet.…

• Hiya! I grew up in Louisiana, and just moved to Colorado one year ago. I was a vegetarian for a while. I’m not 100% raw, but I am trying. I just keep continuing to add more & more fresh fruit and veggies every day. And I keep reading websites an…

• I’m personally against it, but that’s just me as I have problems with many vaccines in general. I was under the impression that it was spread as an STD. So I would imagine that practicing safe sex would be a preventative measure as well?

• I love eggplants – I’m hoping to find a way to make a raw eggplant “parmesean”. I have some lovely eggplants in the garden and I can hardly wait for them to ripen so that I can try the bacon recipe too!

• Hi, I’m only about 50% raw right now. And I get angry with myself, but I plan on continuing and continuing increasing my raw until I reach 100%. I just know that one day I’ll reach my goal. Reading other people’s journey has helped me come to terms …

• They are tomato varieties which are vintage. Many are types which were grown in the 1800’s. It’s my understanding that many seeds were passed down through families in order to sustain them. Also, they are not supposed to be messed with in any “comme…

• This is why I wish that I could grow an olive tree in my back yard. =\ It saddens me the more I read about companies claiming “organic” and “natural” and yet they are not.

• I haven’t done it yet. But I plan to put it by my sliding glass door in my kitchen. That way I can put it outside and bring it in. I’m just using regular soil, and probably stuff from my compost. The botanical gardens had their plant inside near the…
