• I must haved missed the trolling period. This site was a great source of joy to me when I first joined. It's nice to see some of the older members as well as the newer ones. I must admit that I'm technically challeged so if the recent topics are not…

• As a nurse, if it were my young child, I would want a little more fat in their diet than the 811 calls for. They are at the age when their brains/ nerve sheaths and mostly everything is developing. Healthy fat is very important in these processes. G…

• My mother and I both found out that we were “sensitive” to mung bean sprouts. We also had indigestion symptoms ( among others ). We both seem to do well with the lentil sprouts which is another energy soup ingredient.

• Alright, I’ll admit it… I LOVE AC. I couldn’t live without it. I love being cold and hate being hot ( freak of nature ). I’ve always been this way. I would prefer to do without heat than without AC. Oh-well it takes all types.

• Well, Zucchini breath, I can only answer for myself... I don't wear make up all the time, but when I do, I love the way I feel and look. That is not to say that I don't like the way I look or feel without it. I wear scrubs all day at work and I have…

• I’m a nurse working in a nursing home, it’s very scary indeed! Truly they don’t know any better. I have most of the dept. heads drinking green smoothies each day and I wish I could administer green smoothies/juices through the patients feeding tubes…

• OH yeah! when I first started going strong on raw I tried to make a seed pate. I didn’t have a recipe, I just thought I’d throw a little of this and a little of that in the processor. Major YUK!!! It was so gross that it rolled back off of my tongue…

• I’ve also heard that you can sprinkle the pasta with some salt and let it sit to soak up the extra fluid. You can rinse all the salt off before you serve.

• With my experience it all depends on the thickness and how much olive oil you use. I actually just put some olive oil in my hand and massaged a very light coating on the chips and turned out crispy.

• Ohhh goodness, I was wondering about that myself. I actually went down to 80% raw and 20 % cooked vegan just for dating. It was sooo much easier ordering at restaurants and I still feel very healthy and vivacious. I would love to hear other ideas.

• I would love to put my green juices in a Sigg bottle rather than a glass jar ( I’ve already had 2 accidents with the glass ). I had heard that anything other than glass might oxidize the juice faster. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
