• I appreciate the suggestion, but I prefer a cutting board with the end grain on the cutting surface. It keeps the knives sharper longer, and I LOVE sharpe knives as much as I HATE sharpening them. The only way to get an end grain cutting surface is …

• This has been hanging here for a couple days without a knowledgeable reply, so I’ll put forth a personal hypothesis based on insufficient research and internet based “facts.” I go with the seeded. It is less genetically altered, and it tastes better…

• Did Ann Wigmore stop recommending juicing in general? Including wheatgrass? My sister has a wheatgrass juicer she no longer uses, and I could borrow indefinitely, but I am wondering if it will improve my chances of my body healing itself or will jus…

• Well, today marks day 1 as a vegan, but I would saw only about 98% raw for the next 2 days. I have a jar of olives in the fridge that I am going to finish rather than throw away. I had a few today, a few more tomorrow, and the last of my bread/meat/…

• I have the blendtec home as well, and it doesn’t whip air into the drink. I agree with rosehebrew about preferring to work without needing the tamper. I’m sure that either one will make you happy. They both seem to have very happy and loyal owners. …

• Well, I am not inclined to eat my poop, and though there seems to be nothing to stop me from having the “fruits” of sex with myself, I guess I would prefer either a food source or reasonable supplement in the case that I end up B-12 deficient. I am …

• OK, I figured it out. I have not eaten Kale ever, and I started with so little as I didn’t want to have to throw away the fruit on my first green smoothie attempt. I certainly forsee myself blending much larger quantities of greens as soon as breakf…

• Well, I will say this, despite the unpleasant aftertaste, tonight for dinner, all I had was some olives and the green smoothie. That was 3.5 hours ago, and I still have more energy now than I did for most of the day prior to that meal. I am already …
