• Last time I went camping, I craved fresh produce. I brought a huge bag of oranges, bell peppers, cucumbers, apples, etc. You can bring cut carrots, celery. Uncut produce will last several days without refrigeration. Enjoy your trip!

• Let me pipe in. I am very jealous that you have a chance to study English. Reading books has changed my perception of the world in a deep, profound way. If I could go back in time, I would have gone to college for English as I believe that is one pl…

• I would have said to add fresh carrot juice, but carrots are sugary.. Perhaps some other neutral vegetable hmm.. OOO almond milk! That might work. It’s a nice neutral base.

• Chlorophyll is a very beneficial part of all green plants. When skeptico says that wheatgrass has no nutrients, first of all: he’s only looking at vitamins, not minerals. Second: he’s looking at an analysis of conventional, NOT organic wheatgrass. b…

• But his argument is Special microbes and enzymes are necessary in the gut to break down the cellulose in grass. Humans do not have these enzymes, and so humans can’t digest grass, whether it is juiced first or not.

• Here’s what Skeptico writes: 1. Wheatgrass is a low quality food that does not contain anything even remotely close to “all of the vitamins and most of the minerals we need”. (See wheatgrass nutrition data: 7% daily values (DV) of Vitamin C; 10 iron…

• I love the excalibur 9 tray. But I kinda wish I got the sausage maker – to avoid plastic. My Excalibur dries thinly sliced tomatoes in 9 hours, and tomato chunks in 24 hours.

• If it’s any help to you, I am more social now that i’m raw. Raw improved my personality for some reason.. i have more energy to do outdoor activities (hiking/kayaking/boating), more energy to go out with friends, and I’m more brave (I don’t mind or …

• Dorispin – Don’t ever use the hard shell part. Some recipes recommend soaking because the seeds will be creamier when you blend them. Always use shelled sunflower seeds for all recipes!
