• ajchanter—where in france? i’m from the southeast (not currently, but before). it’s harder to turn down food in france. it’s VERY much part of the culture to share, so maybe that’s why it seems odd. HOWEVER, as long as you do it without being self-c…

• d&z—i’m wary of food science. “nutritionists” know far less than they claim. our understanding of the human body and what nutrients in foods do what is akin to a baby’s understanding of their foot. here’s a better test than logic: intuition. see…

  in RAW OR COOKED?!!! Comment by pianissima
• oh my gosh i am SO with you. and about doing what you love, yes, i’m a musician. anyway, i think the main problem is that SO many recipe books use cashews, dates and dehydrated foods to get people interested in raw foods. so it becomes like the “alp…

• tiny1—you need a blender to make almond mylk, but otherwise that sounds good. unplugged kitchen are awesome. my advise would be to get a mandoline. i LOVE having really finely sliced veggies. you can make platters, slaws… the way you cut a veggie re…

• sorry, i’ve never tried soaking rice. but i’m curious, do you have reason to believe brown rice is raw? my understanding is that it is a stored grain and thus would have to undergo some heat treatment to keep away pests. i’m not sure either way thou…

• worley—i totally agree with the super market theory and how we got organics… but look at how corporate organics have become. people are getting OUT of the supermarket, finding new ways to get their food… growing it themselves, or reaching out to loc…

  in Barack Obama Test Comment by pianissima
• worley—i disagree. 1) Nader isn’t going to win. In your wheat bread analogy, it’s choosing the bread the store doesn’t carry. It just doesn’t make any sense if you HAVE to buy bread. (Whether we like it or not, someone will be president… you can’t v…

• according to my colon hydrotherapist, a raw vegan should go twice a month (even more than “regular eaters” because we are constantly detoxing). i don’t. it doesn’t feel right. and i’m starting to wonder whether it’s even a good idea to go regularly.…

• i find sesame seeds to be quite bitter, which is why i always use olive oil and sea salt when i make tahini, or a little date paste or banana is i want it to be a little sweeter.

• AND, if anyone knows what the difference is between “sprouted” and just soaked (in terms of digestibility, toxicity…) i’d love to know. because they are totally usable and soft after only about 20 minutes of soaking (got that idea from raw food real…
