  • That guy really needs a solid punch to the head.
  • Umm, where on your site does it tell people what their sun and moon sign is?
  • I know this is not electricity-free, but I now do the majority of my wash in a very small Haier washing machine that I hook up to my kitchen sink. It uses relatively little water and power, about one cubic foot interior, 18 inches wide and deep and …
    in Spend $ to Save $ Comment by TomsMom
  • I used to own that little pressure washer. It’s fine but you have to use hot water in order for the technique to fully work, and can only do small items well, like socks and underwear and one or two blouses. You also have to dump the hot, wet clothe…

  • Thank you, greenie!!! They never answered me, even with a big order, so thank you many times!
  • Thank you, greenie! I had emailed earlier but maybe they’re not open. I know they do sometimes bottle organic at times but I didn’t think the rest of the oil was.
  • Well, I made a hash of thing, haha. Not all of their oil is organic and I didn’t know if I should just keep the order or cancel. But it all tastes great, yes! Actually I don’t know if they have organic oil right now at their site; I guess I could ca…
  • I get them once in a while, too. They hurt so much:( I developed extremely dry eyes when I first went to college for some reason and they never really recovered, so now I get things like this. I hope your eye gets better soon!
    in Stye in my eye Comment by TomsMom
  • Okay, thank you everyone for the advise. I was just wondering what caused the black tunnels; it really freaked me out because I thought it was full of invisible vermin crawling through, yuck! I never refridgerate my avocadoes before they are ripe, b…
  • Winona, you just made me start drooling with your list! Mmmmmm.
    in Monthly Food Bill? Comment by TomsMom
  • To be honest, my food bill on raw is very high! I don’t even spend much money on more expensive items like nuts and dried fruit. I eat relatively little calories, usually between 900 and 1200 a day, mostly lettuces, greens, fruits of all kind(when I…

  • I don’t think eating the way your body was designed to eat is radical in any way, but people do tend to create fads out of things to enrich their egos. This includes re-defining words, something I really loath. I see it as more of a white, elitist t…
  • Without knowing exactly what you’re eating, I can at least empathize with your words. But like the others said, don’t despair. It’s normal to have ups and downs for the first couple months, maybe a little longer. Overall, raw is the more natural die…
  • pretty neat site, thank you:-)

  • Your government must be taking lessons in facist evil from mine.
  • I'm not impressed by Dr. Bronners. The bar soaps are just castile soap, horribly over-priced. They sell for $5 a bar. Castile soap for $5 a BAR. Their soaps contain what is laughingly called "fragrance". One of the Dr. Bronners household products is…

  • I started to wash my greens and fruits recently because I read a list of the solutions and chemicals ALLOWED to be used for organic produce and farms. I’d prefer not to eat copper sulfate, lol. But I really hate having to wash them, because of the e…
  • I didn’t think that hydoponics could be considered “organic”, technically, but I think vertical farming is a fascinating and awesome thing and is definately in the future for the world. It should be at least as clean and healthy as organic food if d…
    in vertical farming Comment by TomsMom
  • My favorite way to eat it is off the spoon! (I don’t do that very often, though)
    in Tahini....?? Comment by TomsMom
  • I promise I’ll play with it this weekend, then! I wanted to make my own unhulled sesame tahini(which I love love love!). I’m not sure what a “blank plate ” is, though. I’m going to try to find the instruction manual online. If I have to add oil to t…
    in making nut butter Comment by TomsMom
  • Oh, shoot, I have tried my processor and it wouldn’t blend the unhulled sesame seeds or even pulverize them. Maybe it’s not strong enough? It’s one of the small one, holds about one pint. I did borrow my mother’s Champion, though. I just am afraid t…
    in making nut butter Comment by TomsMom
  • I need to know how to make it without needing a $400 dollar blender with a 3-horsepower motor, which is out of reach of me.
    in making nut butter Comment by TomsMom
  • It’s both. The stomach recongnizes raw foods much more easily and doesn’t dump the huge loads of gastric acid and bile. INstead it uses a much more appropriate amount for digestion. This is why problems like reflux disease disappear. Also, I guess i…
  • I tend to have lots of some things and just a bit of others, and some things I rarely eat while others I eat constantly, so it’s not as much as it sounds. Let’s see, this is what I have now: apples, bananas, avocados, pear, strawberries, raspberries…
  • This country is so sick and perverted.
  • Ingesting huge amounts of salt is poisoning the body. That is why your guts expell everything violently. I know fasters tend to love it, but I stay very far from this kind of fast.
  • I know folks say never to eat after a certain time, OP, but honestly, if you are really hungry, you should eat something. Late at night, I try to stay with mostly raw veggie soups and/or an apple. Sometimes a handful of nuts is great. I don’t think …
  • Honestly, I love her beautiful face. But aside from that, it’s the fact that she saved her baby’s life that inspires me the most. Just incredible.
  • So true, Winona, the expense of it. I’m so lucky that I have a friend helping me to eat healthy. To be honest, I couldn’t do all this raw and organic without him. Do you have the list on produce with the highest loads of pesticides? That way, if you…
  • It’s not too late! Why would it be too late? Is there a time limit on NOT eating pesticides and metals? lol, look at it this way: if you are eating all raw, then you are eating a load more poisons than you were as a SAD eater, because you’re eating …
