• Matt Monarch also thinks you should get a daily enema. Well heck, I agree with him on that and on getting regular colon hydrotherapy. :P It’s just that he didn’t back up his lettuce losing enzymes statement with scientific proof, and I was wondering…

• I simply LOVE the 3 cup Cuisinart. I prep for one – so i tend to make small batches. http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DFP-3-Handy-3-C… My reasoning is, if i tried to make small batches (less than 2 cups worth) in a 7 cup, it wouldn’t work well.

• Well I can’t afford to buy really raw nuts at $14/lb… so my nuts are store bought. They’re the ‘raw’ nuts that are steamed to open their shells, or pasteurized in the case of almonds. Enzyme inhibitors are a moot point for me. I spend too much on gr…

• Hi smiller450 – I recommend investing in a couple of my fave books – Ani Phyo’s book, and Cafe Gratitude. Note that not all recipes you see online will come out tasty, as they haven’t been published by actual raw chefs. Also, what zoe said is SO TRU…

• Ya’ll do realize that most organic food is grown in manure, right? Conventional crops are grown with manure too, of course. So, you really should rinse your food or risk the pathogens that can reside in manure.
