• Outside the US, most countries use metric which is actually easier overall. Lol, I switch back and forth but only because I teach middle school science so use metric more often ;).

• I agree with sweetpea, while WholeFoods and some natural foods stores may carry them many people I know have better luck at Asian/cultural stores. This goes for other items as well, they have some interesting things in there!! Coconut water and I ge…

• For bee pollen, my suggestion is to look locally if you can. I have someone near me that sells at my farmers market and I get good stuff for the same price as I would(if not less) and no shipping to worry about. Are you in the US? Try Local Harvest …

• If you can eat pumkin raw pureed into soup I see no reason why you can’t enjoy it as noodles as well. I wonder if it depends on the size or age of the pumkin if they all will shred like that, but I say go for it. Pumpkin and butternut squash noodles…

• Great, thanks for posting!! I had heard rumors of a possible East Coast festival next year but didn’t have any details. I hope it’s close to me :)

• Joyce, where on the East coast are you? Just a thought but if you find someone close by that also is interested in there you can split the cost and each get what you want.

• What brand do you have?? I tried Spectrum at first and it was OK but I wasn’t a big fan unless I mixed with certain flavors. That jar ended up going mainly to my skin(mix with some brown sugar and it’s great for a body scrub…only reason I buy the su…

• I react very strongly to spider bites, and found that some sort of black salve usually works very well for me. Another thing to help draw out the sting is making a paste with meat tenderizer. My mom learned this trick years ago for bee stings from a…

• For the amount of nuts I eat, the closest to raw I can get is Ok with me. I am not a big nut fan, more than a handful makes me sick on any kind. Seeds are Ok, nuts hit me very fast due to high fat content/oils in most.

• I am not 100% raw, but my friends are more accepting than my family. Mom especailly… Now it’s, oh so what I gave you wasn’t good enough?? I haven’t eaten in her house for 10 years outside family gatherings, she is not stupid and should know about 1/…

• If you are using the food processor for multiple things in the row, then make the less of the flavors that will last first. Then you can simply use it again, that little left from first dish won’t make a big deal. Or plan and make sure all the foods…

• I don’t care for them, but I didn’t like the soba or soy noodles I tried either. The taste never did much for me, but mainly it was a texture thing. If I am craving pasta/noodles that badly then I grab my julienne peeler and make my own from zuchinn…

• I like the idea of the card, but for me would worry it’s too general and it’s up to the chef what to throw veggies are around your way. I prefer the idea of talking to the waitress about what you want/need and be sure to bring up dietary restriction…

• For me I find it has more to do with the light outside than what my body needs. When I’m eating well I can sleep 5-8 hours, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that when I wake up I get up, if I end up falling back into bed the next 1-2 hours tend to…

• I don’t do soy at all if I can help it(which is fine with me because I never liked soymilk and HATE tofu) but at this point I think it is so processed, like corn products, that it isn’t something I would even want to consider if I wasn’t already avo…
