• Yeah, it really makes you think. I used to get canker sores all the time as a kid, but I thought it was the sodium lauryl sulfate in my toothpaste. I switched to a natural toothpaste and I got fewer canker sores, but I’d hardly call them rare. I’ve …

• This is a great site for feeding raw: http://rawfedcats.org/ And it also lists the problems with ground raw: http://rawfedcats.org/ground.htm Apparently, grinding the food increases the risk of bacteria and the cats really need to chew on bones and …

• I wished that worked for me! Grey hair since 12(now 23) and I have more grey coverage than my mom at 61. Congratulations!

  in Ungreying hair, anyone? Comment by Justine
• Thanks for posting that Angie. The author seems to glide over the pros and focus on the cons, many of which are easily debunked. Some nutrients, notably lycopene, in tomatoes, are actually rendered more absorbable by cooking. While this may be true,…

• I think there is a lot of fear of fruit in the world and that this article is going to do more harm than good. I also want to say that I agree a lot with thecavsman, This article is based on the level of vitamins that is considered normal for a SAD …

• Well, my child is vegetarian, not vegan. My fiance takes her out for cheesy food, so that’s her current source of B12. I also believe that she gets it through my breastmilk, since I take a supplement. I’m going to discuss the B12 issue at her 18mo a…

• She occasionally gets almond and hazelnut based foods. Also sunflower seed butter. However, no allergies to those run in our family and she’s handled them well. She has gotten taller lately. Also, her canines are starting to come in. That could be i…

• Congrats Kait! One tip: Add a lot more greens and veggies. They are very filling in juice form and it will make the feast a lot easier. Good luck!

• Hi Ray, I’ve noticed that when I click on a recipe, it shows a different star rating than the one shown on the previous page. Also, the favorite recipe list seems to have drastically changed overnight, probably due to the same issue. When I click on…

• I feed my daughter(14mo) mostly cooked vegan, not raw vegan. However, here are some of the raw foods she eats: -Cucumbers cut up into little cubes(you can get a dicer that cuts things into uniform cubes if it makes it easier.) -Apples and pears, cub…

• I asked a similar question back when my daughter was only a few months old. Someone asked me, “What’s worse, the possible toxins she may get for a short detox period or the constant toxins she is getting from my cooked diet?” That said, it’s been a …

• Goat’s cheese is consider dairy. Almond milk is not raw unless you make it yourself, but apple cider vinegar can be purchased raw. I don’t know about brewer’s yeast or lecithin.

  in What about these foods???? Comment by Justine
• You could do farmer’s markets. Also, I know some people selling food on etsy. While doing that, you could go around to the local stores and offer a free sample to the owner’s along with a price sheet and business card. You may want to check local re…

• Another idea, for those of us with zero culinary skills, is to promote raw food companies that are already out there. It wasn’t that long ago that it was next to impossible to buy Larabars unless you special ordered them. Now, Larabars are sold at 4…

• 80/10/10 is a raw diet designed by Dr. Douglas Graham that is 80% carbs, 10% protein, and 10% fat. Basically, you eat mostly fruit, with a large salad at the end of the day and you keep nuts, seeds, and avocados to a minimum. More info can be found …

• Hi angie, Not sure I can help much, but maybe you could make veggie sandwich wraps. You could slice cucumber, jicama, and celery into super thin strips, and lay them on a kale or lettuce leaf with sprouts and a dab of tahini.They are pretty filling …

• Bees would pollinate whether we use them for honey or not. In addition, there are several other species that are pollinators. It wouldn’t shock me to find out that the decline in bee populations is directly related to the honey and bee products indu…

• Here’s a good Q&A on basic vegan questions and there’s a blurb about honey: http://www.vegan-info.com/faq.html#heading3ques… I do not consider honey vegan and neither does Vegan Action, the group that puts the certified vegan logo on packaged pr…

• Luna and Benny, Thanks, you guys saved me a bunch of cash, however, I still have a question about the rawness of hemp in the states. I thought it had to be heated to the point where it could no longer germinate in order to be sold here. Is the raw h…

• I think I would add some raw “transitional” foods to the list to make it easier when they get a craving. Stuff like raw bars, raw cereals, and directions to the nearest juice bar.

• Chris, The extreme cost is mostly due to it being in California. We’ve been looking at houses lately and even with prices dropping, the cheapest 2-bedroom houses are about $600,000 in my area. The cheapest 2-bedroom condo is about $375,000 and there…

• It would be nice if they had a hotel. It could create added revenue for the community and expose more people to the lifestyle. I agree with elizabethh that it would be isolating for the kids. I was looking up vegan communities as a possibility, but …

• Have you been to a doctor to have allergy tests? If not, I would do that to pinpoint just what you are reacting to. As another poster said, it could be the pesticides. Another possibility is that it could be psychosomatic. Perhaps after so many year…

• Thanks for the book suggestion, redhouse. I just ordered it. I have two problems with decentralized organizations. One is that sometimes the message gets lost because they take it to the extreme(as in the recent ELF burning of of a “earth-friendly” …
