• I've been reading up on the large Cuisinart and Kitchen-Aid models, and have shied away from Cuisinart due to the horrific customer service reviews they've received. Kitchen-Aid makes great mixers (at least they used to), but since the company was s…

• A gentle note: isn't one of the biggest points of going raw to eat whole foods . . . fresh foods that haven't been tampered with, refined, or altered? Sugar (white or brown) has been shown to have so many detrimental effects on the body that it's so…
