• have_mercey—i totally agree that most argument are misunderstandings. i don’t really see why the defensiveness is kicking in, but i guess that’s just my perspective of seeing this more of an intellectual quandary: how do we best explain WHY we do wh…

• mandelicious—it doens’t have to do with not seeing a difference. the whole point is that we SEE a difference and so we make the distinction. but why? because an animal makes a sound when you hurt it? because it has eyes? oysters don’t have a nervous…

• i had a thought: from the “my husband would have divorced me” comment it seems like she may be a bit jealous of how you and your husband are going in on this diet as an aligned front, a team. maybe your father in law is being less than helpful for h…

• about dehydration. it’s definitely not going to get you the ultimate amount of nutrition from whatever you are drying. it’s preferable to cooking for sure because it does LESS damage, but there’s no comparison to fresh. dehydration has an important …

• there was recently a forum on this: http://goneraw.com/forums/7/topics/4192 rawjulie has a lovely website that explains raw pregnancies, the link is on above forum. it’s been mentioned a few times here that if you are not yet raw, to wait until you …

• rawnessrox—yes, pure food is definitely a splurge. it’s also a little too heavy for me, so i’ve vowed to only go back for dessert (go have a salad at bonobo’s maybe?). their sundae is OUT OF THIS WORLD. and what i really love about the place is the …

  in Raw New Yorkers? Comment by pianissima
• i live in the suburbs (connecticut)... but there are LOTS of raw vegans in nyc. have you been to bonobo’s or pure food and wine? also, try meetup.com for raw pot-lucks in NYC. i’d actually like to try some. i don’t know any raw foodists either.

• i think getting your b-12 levels monitored with a blood test is a great way to see how you are doing. so far i’m fine. so is storm. so is jinjee. and i guess i get my bacteria from not washing my produce, touching my feet with my hands… the usual pl…

  in vitamin b12 deficiency Comment by pianissima
• i know this is controversial, but i really don’t believe in b-12 deficiencies. look at what you are eating. you might be getting too much fruit, not enough fat, or not enough greens. for poor circulation try adding ginger and/or fresh hot peppers to…

• kale salad! rawkincake—that’s so funny. i have been having it everyday since i first made it. i didn’t have avo the first time so i made it with sunflower seeds. the next time i made it with sesame seeds. all variations are FANTASTIC. =)

  in Raw chocolate smoothies - are they bad? Comment by pianissima
• not only do i think you should make yourself a dessert smoothie everyday, but i think you could make yourself more “fun” raw food. that way, raw food doesn’t become a chore, or a “healthy burden”, but it becomes what you would honestly pick out of e…

• if you don’t have a dehydrator think any phyo! almost all of her recipes are dehydrator-free or optional. “good morning muesli”: (4 servings) —2 apples or 2 peaches diced—1/2 cup cranberries —1 cup pumpkin seeds (i’d soak and then dry)—1/4 cup sesam…

  in coconuts Comment by pianissima
• picking them out—pick big ones. more water, more meat. make sure they aren’t moldy. preparing—you can add them to ANYTHING that calls for fat. i use them in salad dressings, cracker batters, dessert mousses, green smoothies… you can also cut them in…
