• What would happen to the site? Are you referring to FDA as "those guys?" That makes it sound like they might get angry at us for bashing them... could something like that happen? It's a scary thought!

• Oh my god! That is so unbelievably... EVIL! Those poor babies... I don't like the idea of feeding babies store-bought formula anyway, but TAINTED store bought formula?? Are there any store bought formulas that are safe for babies that anyone knows a…

• That is absolutely inspiring, Zoe- I truly think that is what makes people beautiful. It seems like whether or not people see themselves as beautiful and sexy make them project a certain confidence. I'm working on that too- you're right, it is horri…

• That's wonderful, Zoe. S, that you found such a new way to live (and everyone else who has)- I honestly wish I could have that mindset, but the thought of taking any kind of drug terrifies the life out of me. I don't think I've worked up the courage…

• I just found out there are Whole Foods markets in Vancouver! Woot! I live in the Okanagan, so I've been out of luck so far with kelp noodles- most unfortunate, I've been absolutely dying to get my hands on some since I've heard of them. Apparently y…

• Personally, the thought of adding animal products back into my diet induces WAY more panic than anything else. Jessica, I feel your pain, I do- I can binge on pretty much anything, and it wreaks absolute HAVOC on my mind-state, which is fragile at b…

• I think the main reason I love raw is its beautiful simplicity. I would love it to become more common, and more widely accepted, but at the same time, it shouldn’t be based on profit. Nature is beautiful, and it is nourishing, and it doesn’t try to …

  in Why do people eat so many dates, cashews, dehydrated foods? Comment by bean
• Mmmm…. so much good food. lemme see… Staples: dates, apples, bananas, sprouts, tomatoes, seaweed Indulgence: nut cheese, raw gourmet foods, raw chocolate, mulberries, sundried tomatoes, salt (omgNOOOOO!), seaweed Always on hand: celery, apples, bana…

• Omigosh, that’s horrible! I don’t know much about spider bites, but from what I’ve picked up, if you get treatment that quickly, it generally turns out alright. Especially since there’s no necrosis or anything else really bad happening (save for the…

• ‘tis a pity, it would’ve been kind of cool if nut pulp could be soaked until all the oils were gone, then made into cheese. Fat-free cheese… ah well. I kind of want to try it anyway, just because I’m curious if it’ll work. When you guys make nut mil…

• My entire family knows I’m raw, though sometimes they get stressed over it if they think I look peaky (sometimes I don’t pay enough attention to my diet and get run down), but they accept it for the most part. I’m away at school right now, and the l…

• Wow, Cares… you must be quite a strong person. That’s a lot of experience for one person to have, and I’m glad you turned out so wonderful! You sound like exactly the kind of person people describe as “unbeatable.” I’ve always wanted to learn how to…

• Oh my gosh… this is amazing. Thank you, everyone who’s posting. I have a hard time uplifting myself once I’ve started the negative thinking, and I have a few tricks, but I’m definitely going to be trying some of these things. 1sweetpea and LovefoodL…

• I think any sort of thing like that is technically in our minds, but I don’t think that makes it any less serious- if anything, I would think it’s worse because it can’t really be “cured”... I’m not sure, though- it’s strange, I’ve never officially …

• that’s great that you’re feeling better, d&z. Mind state can be a tricky thing- I think I’ll start another post for this, but has anyone here actually been diagnosed with depression, or bipolar disorder?

• Ouch. jgfergus, isn’t that a little harsh? I don’t think salt is exactly in the same range as heroin, and there are plenty of worse things than a bit of salt in terms of comfort. If you did something someone else didn’t, would you want to be attacke…

• zinfandel, you’re a poor student? So am I! We should start a club! I wonder how many other students are on here… I’m curious, though- I had my levels of stuff checked (vitamins, minerals, etc) and the naturopath who did it said I was low on sodium. …

  in What do you know about SALT? Comment by bean
• That is a great answer! That would make for a great meal. When I go out to eat, it’s usually with friends or a group of people who know nothing about my eating habits. For me, eating at a restaurant is more about the social interactions, so making a…

• actually, that used to happen to me quite a lot- it still does every once in a while. I wake up and it’s like my hands have gone and died on me. I do have fairly poor circulation, I think, but I don’t see the hands thing as much of a problem. Genera…

• I’ve always been curious about this- what are the benefits of a colonic? I know it cleans out your digestive system, and there’s the obvious easier digestion and getting rid of built up toxins, but doesn’t raw food do that naturally anyway? Is there…

• I love it! Halloween is so much fun, it’s too bad growing up tries to take the fun away. I’m in University, so I think drinking ranks higher here than dressing up and trick-or-treating (oy.) I’m still celebrating- was there anything more fun than ca…

• Hey, sorry if this keeps up the off-topicness, but I have a quick question for you all- I heard that casein (milk protein, I think) actually leaches calcium from your bones. I haven’t found much on the topic, but I have heard it in more than one pla…

• I just figured out how to use them, myself- on the sprouting sites I’ve read (sproutpeople.com is amazing) it says to soak them for about 6-8 hours no more (apparently beyond that they can become waterlogged), and then to drain them, and rinse them …

  in how do I? Comment by bean
• I wonder if you could get the same results (ish- or something to bind it together with, at least) from blending grains right after soaking (before they sprout)- do they need to be sprouted to have enough enzymes for proper digestion? I don’t have a …

• Thanks, 1sweetpea! I haven’t found any other sites- that’s probably the best one, and whether it’s expensive or not, I might have to try it… Woot! mmmorgans, where do you live? I’m in Kelowna, myself- BC is beautiful, isn’t it? I love where I am so …

• I’ve wanted to try kelp noodles for sooo long! I really do miss that spaghetti-feel… kind of rubbery, chewy, y’know? Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to get kelp noodles (the clear ones) up here in Canada (I live in BC)... does anyone have an…

• I’m in the Okanagan, right now. I’ve just recently moved here (for the university) so I don’t know much about raw activity in the area. I know there used to be a raw restaurant here, but it closed down and now there isn’t really any raw food places.…
