  in Christmas for the good of the world... Comment by skyespice
• I didn’t know popcorn was bad for birds – all the natural websites I visited suggested popcorn garland, saying the birds would love it when you were done with it. So, question, any brilliant ideas on natural, compostable christmas tree decorations? …

• Just a thought, have you tried taking your daughter to a homeopathic specialist rather than a doctor? Doctors of medicine never ask you about anything but the child’s weight so they can dose them up, regardless of the illness. They don’t ask about d…

• tdg, the mucous issue – ick!! Neither of my daughters have ever drank cow’s milk – my oldest was vegetarian until 2, my youngest has been vegan since birth (with a large amount of all or nearly all raw food). My daughters have never had the flu, onl…

• Please be careful with giving your baby foods you are not sure of!! Again, I agree with pp – do not give a baby that young nut milks. Too hard to digest. If you can’t breastfeed, your baby still needs formula during this all-important time of growth…

• I’ve thought about the oven thing, but my oven temp doesn’t go below 170 degrees, which is way to high. Any other suggestion for that? I really miss bread… THank you all for your support. I totally fell off the wagon today, and I’m ok with that. I l…

• What bothers me most is, why aren’t they calling in obese people and asking them about THEIR eating disorders? Heart disease, diabetes, cholesterol problems – these are some of the biggest risk factors today, all due to being overweight and eating a…

• Good questions! For flax, I grind them until I reach 1 cup. So I don’t measure at all at first – I grind, then measure out a cup. For seeds, I measure, then soak. So if it calls for one cup almonds, soaked, I measure out one cup and soak them, then …

  in What's your Average Day Diet? Comment by skyespice
• tlrosbach – it kind of depends on what you’re eating, how you exercise, what your body type is. I never lost much on a vegan diet, but then I didn’t have a whole lot to lose. My suggestion is – don’t focus on the weight. I include my weight loss bec…

• Yes, I’ve lost weight – in fact, this has been the only way I’ve ever felt so successful! I’m a pretty small person height wise, and small boned. I’ve lost a total of 12 pounds, which dropped me 4 dress sizes. Three pounds for me can take months to …

• Zoe – a brochure is exactly what you need, which is why I just don’t say ANYthing about how/what/why I eat what I do.

• Joseegonthier – that’s what I always think too, when I have 5 pounds of walnuts and 5 pounds of almonds – no one would think it strange to have a 5 pound piece of meat in my cart! So strange how our culture views people who choose to eat naturally!

• All the baby books tell you, “you’re infant will not readily take to meats. Continue offering meats in small amounts until they readily eat them.” Thankfully, both of my children were raised as vegetarians, so neither have ever had meat. But doesn’t…

• Joesc – I swear, you leave it up to kids and follow their example and you WILL be a raw foodist! All my 2 year old ever wants to eat, whatever our diet has been, is avocado and banana and almond milk! We TRAIN ourselves to like cooked food. Kids are…

• Thank you ALL! Don’t apologize, Vaughn – it’s good to know these things. It’s just that, I finally felt I had a handle on the raw foods diet – dried fruits, nuts for snacks, nut pate’s, and lots of fresh fruit and veggies. Now half my diet is unraw …

  in FRUSTRATED! Anyone else? Comment by skyespice
• What about nutritional yeast? Is this considered a raw food? I know it’s full of B vitamins. Mainly, I’ve noticed since going very nearly fully raw that my nails are becoming brittle and breaking easily, and I’m worried it may be a deficiency of som…

• I want to be 100% raw but find getting rid of bread very difficult. I’d guess myself to be about 85-95%. 1. I’ve kept 88% cocoa content chocolate, soy milk in smoothies (I find almond milk too time consuming, very expensive, and not enough of it for…

• Wow Zoe, that is awesome! Honestly, I just don’t tell people. I only tell those closest to me, whom I eat with on a semi-regular basis. At this point, only my in-laws, my best friend, and of course my husband and two kids (who are raw with me) know …
