• The scariest is when you have third-generation children unable to speak their country’s language. I love it when kids are raised to be bilingual, but keeping them uneducated and isolated and unable to communicate is just sick. I know you weren’t tal…

• Italian immigrants to this country did the same thing, DagnyTaggart. They clustered tightly together, many refused to teach their children English, and they hung on to traditions. No one married outside the family easily. I mean, not all did this, b…

• I actually change some things every few months, as I learn to adjust my diet to my needs, but for now: 1) green juice from turnip greens, cucumber, carrot, fennel and kale 2) Mmmmmm, chopped avocado and tomatoe, covered with fresh lime juice OR fres…

• rawforhealth, when I said I felt frustrated, I didn’t mean anger, not at all. I just feel helpless about your situation. I really feel sympathy for you. You have no idea. It hurts to see someone in a similiar situation, to have a good idea of what t…

• I don’t think sweetpea meant to offend. I think she was expressing some frustration, and I feel the same, actually. I’m not sure why you think you’re poisoned by toxins like mercury or why you’ve been told that if you eat fruits, you’ll be infected …

• Nama shoyu is unpastuerized soy sauce. It’s not raw, as it’s made from cooked soy beans(like all soy sauce), BUT it is “alive”. I personally love it, but use it rarely because of the wheat and salt. Braggs anything is going to be over-priced and I q…

• chicory, your skin sounds just like mine. It’s very frustrating, the oiliness and the peeling. Even just splashing it with water can make it inflame and peel. Sucks. Oh, I tried the AVC, too. It burned my skin and I had diluted it. I don’t know what…

• What worries me is if the almonds are really sprouting, or just absorbing water like a lot of dead materials will. I only hear of the little tips getting slightly larger, never of a real sprout or rootlet.

• sid23, I like my nuts to be organic if possible(or at least grown organically), because more chemicals are being used on nuts now than in the past. It depends on what kind of nut and where it is being grown. Some states will dump a load on their pec…

• Zoe, I feel the same way! And coffee, too, haha! It’s really surprising to me that I didn’t go bald or something then. But I lost a lot of hairs on the raw diet, so I don’t know what I did wrong. Then again, I lost a lot of weight and came off some …

• legs_77, lots of cooked veggies become malnourished because they don’t eat well, not because they abstained from fish and meat. I know, haha. Oh, I loved my pastas and potatoes, and that’s pretty much all I ate for years!:-)

• troublejustabubble, when I tried it with my mom’s Champion, the seeds actually flew straight up out of the chute. I guess the “teeth” just couldn’t get a grip and exerted just enough pressure to pop them right back out. With the Omega, which is an a…

  in Juicer Comment by TomsMom
• What do you think you’ll be juicing the most? I choose the Omega because I wanted to juice a lot of greens and make tahini. I had borrowed my mother’s Champion last year, and found that although it was good for hard, crip foods like carrots and appl…

• I find nut milks to be watery. I pour them into coffee and I can’t even tell I’ve added anything. Maybe I just make shitty nut-milk:( I did find some non-dairy creamer at the little health food store down my street, but scarily enough, I couldn’t re…

• So gross and unneccesary to use animal byproducts. My family makes their own wine in their cellars and they don’t use animal byproducts or filth. It could use a little sugar sometimes(cough, cough) Thanks for the links:-)

  in Fish Bladders in Wine? Comment by TomsMom
• I have far less experience that other raw-fooders, so I can only speak for myself. I have had better luck making sure the nuts are dry and in an air-right containers, than in my fridge. Refridgerators temps go up and down constantly, and they can be…

  in How long 'til nuts/seeds go bad? Comment by TomsMom
• I know what you mean. There is a lot of innocence about raw nuts, for example. “Raw” for nuts just means unroasted, and since many types of nuts are first hot-steamed in the shell for cleaning, they are not raw for us. In addition, some nuts are tra…
