• I’ve been vegetarian for a while… so a lot of this is unfamiliar territory. But I used to eat bagels, pasta, pizza, and ice cream in college because of residence hall food. Once I lived on my own, carbs were a rare treat. Looking back, I still can’t…

• I used to eat the fried skin off of pork eggrolls for lunch – they didn’t make any vegetarian ones, so I didn’t eat the inside of the roll. Ewww!

• I agree with Angie on that cheese with spring onions. Just leave out the spring onions, and you’ll have a thick, creamy spread that would be fantastic for any recipe.

• How about calling the company? I’m sure that excalibur could assist you. I sent them an email, and they were VERY responsive and helpful when I had a timer problem. Don’t worry! It’s most likely a small problem, and they can send you replacement wir…

• I read this. I still can’t believe that it’s illegal to indicate that your product is not genetically modified. Yikes!

  in Nuts/Seeds question Comment by Winona
• This probably won’t answer your question but… I don’t shampoo my hair anymore or use any products. Perhaps that is a good path for you to take, if you’re looking to go all natural. An easy trick to keep the grease down is to squeeze one lemon on you…

• -If you want to eat raw foods, skip eating nuts if they are not raw. Foods that are not raw trigger the autoimmune response – this is true for non-raw nuts. They are a cooked food. -Semi dehydrated nuts, like those cashews you used, are totally safe…

• Here’s a link to truly raw cashews. Click here I ordered them in bulk through my food coop, but you could just order them from the website. Zoe’s dead food list is an excellent resource. Perhaps take it easy at first, transition slowly if you like –…

• Hi Folks – Try college dorms! That’s your best bet for $30/night housing. Just call the college housing offices to ask.

• Chris has excellent advice on this topic. He’s a long time raw fooder, while most of us are new to raw. His recommendations have been more helpful to me than anyone else on any forum. Eating greens is a very wise idea! Also, eat anything you want as…

• Young thai coconut water helps me. I drink 1 per day for a few weeks to boost immunity. What Zoe said about eating all raw helps me as well. And green juices or smoothies are an excellent staple. You could make a spinach, apple, avocado soup that’s …

• I see why I was paying so much.. the $14/lb almonds were organic, and the ones I ordered for 59.99 were conventional. But I decided on the conventional cause I’m low on funds – what a great deal!!

• I’m ordering these today. What a great price!! I normally pay $14/lb for truly raw almonds from my food coop.

• I love the simplicity that comes from grabbing a plant or a snack from a tree and eating it. I’m going to forget about all the complex advice, I will ignore about all conflicting information. No talk of supplements and percentages and vitamin conten…

• Excellent post, Chris! Your simple explanation of raw food, and your reminder that raw food is all we need to heal, is truly amazing. THIS is what caused me to go raw. You’re an inspiration. I hope all folks new to raw take this advice to heart. It’…

• Aww!!! I’ve had bad grocery shopping situations on my bike too. I stuff things in my backpack only to find that my peaches or strawberries are squished beyond repair.

• I foraged for wild blackberries and picked a whole quart! Yummers. I’m spending my fourth of july weekend hiking and stuffing my face. The bushes fight back though – my legs look like I was attacked by a cat!

• The reason that nuts are soaked is to inactivate the enzyme inhibitors. The enzymes are necessary so that your body doesn’t need to use it’s own enzymes to digest the food (this is the main reason why raw food is so good for you!) For more info, rea…

• I’m transitioning to all raw (I eat 1 Tbsp non raw a day). It has taken me a year to transition, and I’m still working on it. I am inspired by Zoe’s comments – weight loss, clarity. Others have experienced similar things eating all raw. I believe th…
