• Do you live near any farms? For a while now, I’ve been considering volunteering at the local farms. As soon as I get a car, I will do this. By volunteering every weekend, i’ll be able to get LOADS of free produce. This is an arrangement that most fa…

• Here’s a summary of the law: http://www.speaker.gov/legislation?id=0264 I’m SURE they’re spinning it and not telling us what the NEGATIVE implications are. I don’t even see how this bill is delaying the collapse. It’s coming.

• jkd – I really appreciate the summary you gave. I have been reading the news and even the economist magazine, but it was still hard to understand how the system worked. I had certainly heard about the loan frenzy – they were being handed out like ca…

• What are people’s thoughts on this? I don’t understand the situation well enough to be able to tell if it’s positive or negative.

• Thanks for your insight, Izhpt. I’ve never tried to find out my body type – i’ll look into it!

• Thanks for mentioning those techniques, jenoz. I’ll certainly look them up – as I’m learning the practice of letting go of my addiction to the ‘perfect day’.

• I’ve been considering the test strips for some time, I’m hoping that this forum topic helps to nudge me to buy test strips and monitor my pH. It’s so important!

• Thanks for the link Izhpt! It worked. Ya know what’s interesting? In Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko, she said that for 10 years her family was raw, and during much of that time their health improved.. but then it stopped improving. She did pH t…

• Izhpt – I had a huge mood shift too! I used to have these foul moods. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t stave off the negative emotions that would take hold. Eating very high raw for a couple months was when I really noticed the difference. Now, I…

• I think this problem stems from the delusion that everyone is separate. Folks today, even more than in the past, use selfishness and ego to restrict their compassion to a select few. “A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part …

  in The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race Comment by Winona
• wow- really good point jkd!!! I’ve been thinking about this concept a lot lately. I believe that most land should be public land, so that folks can forage, garden, etc. and aren’t homeless outcasts if they can’t/don’t buy into the stupid commercial …

• I entirely forgot about that, Zoe!! It’s shocking that meat/dairy receive subsidies. Really sad. It’s like giving to a charity who’s main goal is mistreatment and slaughter. I wouldn’t give charity to that organization! (I’m not against meat eating …

  in Raw Foodist Crushes Comment by Winona
• I respectfully disagree about durianrider – he is not a person I admire. His attitude has made giveittomeraw a very difficult forum to visit. To me, it seems that his ego dominates most of his speech. I admire someone who is humble, respectful, kind…

• [Palin] Her record is so extreme that she has perhaps done more harm to animals than any other current governor in the United States. Agreed!!! Vote for Palin!

• Cashews are my favorite food in the world! I know i’ll like her book if she uses them. It would be nice to use internet recipes, but I can’t afford to waste food – when i use online recipes, 50% of them taste like CRAP. Sorry, but it’s true – they’r…

• That sounds lovely! I haven’t seen Eat Smart. Since I’ve heard rave reviews about Phyo’s book, and Cafe Gratitude, I bought both a minute ago!!!! Woohoo! At amazon they’re on sale, plus I had a $5 promo coupon… only $27 for the two books. Can’t wait…

• Rawvolution was simply too difficult for me. The recipes might be good for someone with raw food prep experience.. but I can only handle REALLY simple foods. I’m going to save this book until I have 1-2 years of raw food prep experience, then maybe …

• I coarsely blend in my food processor: carrots, green onions, cashews, nutritional yeast or herbs (dill or parsley), salt, lemon. Easy! I VERY frequently make cashew crusts (cashews ground in coffee grinder, agave) And put anything on it. I either s…

• Also something to pay attention to - if you put the food on teflex sheets, try to move them to the mesh sheets as SOON as possible! Otherwise they'll ferment if left too long (for EX for crackers, it usually takes a couple hours till you can peel th…

• I finally realized my barrier to weight loss. Most activities I do aren’t high enough on the cardio scale, aren’t musculoskeletal challenging. I bike 4 miles a day, leisurely pace, longer rides once a week. I lift weights once every week and a half.…

• What did I do wrong with mine? They were so crunchy. They resembled nothing I’ve ever seen or tasted before. Can they be softened? I bought two packs, but I hated the first go-around. I’d like not to waste the second pack. I’m all ears for recipe id…

• How do you tell that it’s raw ivory teff? Is the brand bobs red mill, enough indication that the flours are raw? In other words, does bob’s red mill sell NONRAW sorghum and ivory teff?
