• You are so welcome. Chia seeds have become my latest obsession. They really are a nutrient dense food and can be added to so many things.

• Hippie Chick—Hi! I live in NYC. You can get them at the little store next to Quintessence restaurant on East 10th Street (good quality, $15). I’ve also seen them at a health food store on 16th and 3rd for around $8. That store can be a little dodgy …

• Thank you Raw Jim and Dain5000 for explaining this. I always felt kind of dopey not knowing what enzymes actually were, but like a sheep, went along with the program.

• Oh yeah, big, big boat! With many levels and variations. I try to remember that when I start having judgments about how other people are eating. Yes, I try to hide them from myself, but they’re there. So while I’m judging them, someone is judging me…

• Yea, I just think the coffee thing is going to be a long-term back and forth thing for me. I do love dark chocolate as well, but for some reason have not craved it for a very long time. It makes me wonder about why some things are easy for some to g…

• We all have something (well,at least I do)! After months of drinking no coffee, I have succumbed intermittently to the aroma emitted from my husband’s morning pot of coffee. Usually about a half cup a few times a week (when the lemon water just does…

• Yay—glad to know I’m not alone. I recently read Boutenko’s “12 Steps to Raw”,and she also mentioned there are various phases in the transition to raw. I like this one.

• Lower fat recipes with much less dependence on nuts. Also, easy recipes you can whip together on a weeknight when you’re tired after a long day at work.

• Hi Alix. You are not alone! I’m 46, and although I haven’t gone through menopause yet, I know it’s around the corner. I don’t have any raw advice, but highly recommend Christiane Northrup’s book “The Wisdom of Menopause”. Although she doesn’t talk a…

• I love “Field of Greens”, and add it to my morning smoothie everyday. It is 100% organic and raw. Ingredients inc. alfalfa, barley grass, oat grass, wheat grass, alfalfa, parsley, collards, kale, brocolli and spinach (whew!). I really miss it if I d…

• I second what Bluedolfin wrote about a pampering sessions. My mom is in fluctuating health and often unable to get out of the house for long periods of time. She feels like a new person when she goes and gets a haircut, especially as everyone at the…

• I appreciate your input, Joyce and Munchie. I hope I haven’t started something with everyone questioning their topics in the forums. Because this is such an overall supportive environment, I became sensitive to the few times when discussions veered …

• JoyceH, I was not offended by your comment in any way, shape or form, and was not referring to that thread at all. As an aside, I really enjoyed reading it because I’m trying to figure out what to do in social situations when there is no raw food ar…

• I know what you are saying elizabethh, but logically, the food should stay “alive” in the dehydrator, if it is not heated more than 118 degrees. That’s just my thought (not based on any solid data),so if anyone out there is more knowledgeable, pleas…

• elizabethh, you’re right. The chia gel does keep you full for hours. Kind of amazing. Bluedolfin, not sure what you mean about rinsing the seeds, as they turn into a gel in water. Is there some trick I don’t know?

• Thanks, elizabeth, sounds great. I just put chia in a super green smoothie that included greens, banana,mango, hemp and goji berries. Feel a little high right now!

• Like Joyce, I’m reading a lot right now a lot about diet and am still figuring out what’s best for me. Personally, I don’t do well with grains, and really seem to thrive on lots of raw veg and fruit. I think SoCal brings up a good point. When I firs…

• SoCal, I wanted to thank you again for that second link. Although it did not provide recommendations for a vegan diet, I think it is a very good read for people still eating meat who remain blissfully and sometimes deliberately uninformed of it’s de…

• Socal, not to be lazy, but is there a synopsis of this report? I have been aware of this since reading Jeremy Rifkin’s work many years ago, and have been trying to convince my partner (who eats meat) the terrible cost of raising animals for food.
