• Coffee, “emergency” whole grain/flax noodles (I’ll cook’em but add diced tomato, olive oil, minced garlic and chopped basil AFTER I take them off the heat. BTW, I think there is plenty of cold-pressed organic olive oil out there. Also, Whole Foods a…

• Oh, also we had an every-other-week split share option (it’s a LOT of food), which is what I did. Alas, there is no CSA here in Bisbee where I now reside (but there is a co-op nearby!). Mickmaster out.

• CSAs are awesome. The one I belonged to in Tucson has a trade bin and a giveaway bin. they had grains and dried beans and occasional roasted peppers that I traded for things like armenian cucumbers that people also put in there! In a lot of cases, t…

• You have to be around 75% raw or more for detoxification (and hardened fats to break up). If you cheat or there are hidden cooked foods (things you think are raw but aren’t) then you won’t lose weight if you need to lose weight. I think that raw hea…

  in losing weight while eating nuts? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Hi Mahsa, I lost plenty of weight eating loads of raw nuts daily. The beauty of raw foods is that your body will find its ideal weight, whether you need to lose weight or gain weight (assuming that you’re eating enough). Don’t be afraid to eat plent…

• TOL, Who knows whether we are supposed to be eating them or not? That is the question…I look at foods from an evolutionary perspective (what would we have evolved eating) and beans (for the most part) need to be cooked to be digested EXCEPT for spro…

  in Legumes?? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Chris, thanks for sharing. Where did you get this newest information? I’d like to check it out. I’m researching this topic and keep finding the same old conventional wisdom, which in this case I think is an oxymoron. I also got directed to a vid cli…

• When it threatens your health? It’s the only natural way to eat. The SAD diet threatens the health of everyone who eats it, as well as the tortured animals and disappearing rain forest, and….I could go on, of course. The beyondveg guy is a former ra…

• Well, you know it’s not the size of the zucchini, it’s how you prepare it. Put that knife away….step away from the knife….

• Dear dodo – let me/us know how your test turns out. Maybe you have an absorption thing if you took B12 supplement before. I don’t want to take any supplements either as it doesn’t help the raw cause…

• dodo, Good evening (for you it is right?). Yea, I used to think I was healthy by cleaning the crap off every veggie before I ate it (again with the crap), and I probably didn’t eat enough raw veggies when I was veggie back then anyway, but I noticed…

• And by organic veggies, I mean every single time. I’m convinced supplements don’t work, but food does!

• Hi Branwyn. You took a pharmaceutical level of B12, and who knows what that will do. Be careful! Read the article segment below, which is from T. Colin Campbell Foundation (China Study). The article I am taking from is by Pam Popper, PhD, ND. And ev…

• I read with interest the entire thread of this topic. A few months ago I researched B12 because “the B12 thing” is frequently used against vegans as an argument that way of eating is not natural or safe. I’ve even read conflicting opinions by Dr. Co…
